Annual Appeal to help fund hospital reclining chairs

Patients, residents, staff and other carers will all benefit from the proceeds of Timboon and District Healthcare Serviceโ€™s 2019 Annual Appeal.

Funds raised this year will purchase hospital recliner chairs that help lift and lower patients and residents โ€“ significantly reducing risk for TDHS employees and volunteers.

Board chair Maryanne Puli Vogels said the annual appeal was a very important part of TDHSโ€™s year and complimented the already extraordinary contribution made by community members and the organisationโ€™s army of volunteers.

โ€œThese donations from individuals and groups directly improve the lives of our patients and residents and this year the benefit extends to our nursing staff,โ€ she said.

โ€œThe Board of TDHS and our management team are full of energy and really buoyed by the optimism we are all now feeling about the long-term future of TDHS.

โ€œThereโ€™s just such a positive mood across the organisation at the moment and so much of that has to do with the community, its commitment to TDHS and the wonderful collaborative and cooperative relationships we are all enjoying.

 

โ€œOur appeal provides an injection of funds for the ongoing betterment of TDHS and weโ€™re extremely grateful that our community shares our dedication to patient care.โ€

Acting chief executive officer Rebecca Van Wollingen said donations could be made via cash, cheque and direct deposit.

โ€œWeโ€™ve written to community members and a copy of that letter was included in the Winter edition of our Quarterly Newsletter which has just hit the streets. Thereโ€™s a donation form attached to the letter with all the details required.

โ€œAll donations of $2.00 and over are tax deductible, so with the end of the fiscal year just around the corner weโ€™re asking community members, who can, to contribute to the 2019 fundraising tally so that we can purchase as many recliners as possible.โ€

Ms Van Wollingen said each chair would be used many times a day to help patients and residents to sit down and stand up without undue physical strain on nursing staff.

โ€œItโ€™s a wonderful cause and I look forward to keeping the community updated on how many chairs we will be able to purchase with the proceeds of our 2019 Annual Appeal.โ€ she said.
