Hospital visits can be stressful enough on a normal day, but when summer delivers a sweltering heatwave, temperatures inside can quickly become overwhelming for everyone involved.
We recently received a request for a new fan in the hospital’s Phlebotomy Room. Because strict infection control protocols mean air conditioning cannot be installed in the unit, the summer heat was putting immense pressure on both visiting patients and the hard-working team on duty. Naturally, the Friends were delighted to step in and help.
A Welcome Relief for Patients and Staff
With the new fan now officially installed and up and running, the atmosphere in the room has become more bearable. As you can see, Sam Green, Clinical Health Care Support Worker, was absolutely delighted to feel a much-needed cool breeze while caring for patients. Having a comfortable space isn’t just about convenience – it helps put anxious patients at ease and ensures our dedicated healthcare staff can focus on providing that important care without battling with the heat.
Powered by Your Generosity
Simple additions like this might seem minor on paper, but they transform the daily experience inside our hospital. None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our local community. Every penny raised and donations dropped in a collection bucket go towards finding items like this that make immediate, tangible improvements to patient comfort.
Thank you for continuing to support our Charity. Your ongoing generosity keeps our hospital moving, caring, and staying cool!
