Thanks to the incredible support of our community through the Light the Way Christmas Appeal late last year, we raised $50,000 to help fund new bili blankets and neonatal phototherapy lights for newborns with jaundice, as well as essential theatre equipment.
We are pleased to share that the bili blankets and phototherapy lights have now arrived and are in use in our Maternity Unit, enhancing the care we provide to our smallest patients – newborn babies requiring treatment for jaundice.
The accompanying photo shows this impact in action, highlighting how quickly community generosity translates into meaningful patient care.
As a community-owned, not-for-profit hospital, we are deeply grateful to everyone who supported the appeal. Initiatives like this make a real and immediate difference, helping us continue to provide the best possible start for our tiniest patients.
