The auxiliary volunteers, through their fundraising effort for 2023/24 financial year, purchased over $101,664.00 worth of equipment for the Milton Ulladulla Hospital.
The equipment includes:
- six Ook Snow low ward bed with fall alarms and weighing scales. The early warning system provides positive detection for falls prevention which is important for vulnerable and elderly patients and
- an adult and baby Resus Manikins ($9927.50) for the hospital's staff training simulation room. This enables staff to be trained and up-skilled locally.
Auxiliary members also agreed to raise funds and contribute 50 per cent of the purchase of 28 new televisions to the value of $21642.50.
At one point, only three televisions were working in the hospital.
Auxiliary members believe it's important for patients to have access to television while in hospital.
Not all the auxiliary's funds went to "big ticket items" as money went to such items as $190.00 for emergency department patient care kits, or $1254.00 for parallel bars for the physiotherapy department patients.
"We thank our generous and supportive community for your donations, purchasing goodies at our street stalls and raffles," the auxiliary said in a statement.
"We cannot do this without your ongoing support for the benefit of our community and our local hospital."
The auxiliary is currently working with the hospital's management team on the 2024 - 2025 wish list.
2023 was a great year for the group with an award win and 90th birthday celebrations.
