The Friends of Johnson Community Hospital were recently approached by the Blood Clinic with a request to purchase a sensory lamp for their department. We were only too pleased to help.
The lamp has been placed in the “Fish Room”, which is used for paediatric blood tests. Having a blood test can be an anxious experience, especially for children, and even for adults, so the sensory lamp will be used as a gentle distraction to help make the experience a little less daunting.
We are pleased to share a photo of Clinical Health Care Support Worker, Atlanta Marshall, with the new sensory lamp. Atlanta, who originally requested the item, is pictured in the Fish Room where the lamp will be used to support young patients during their visit.
Rebecca Mills, Senior Admin Assistant, said: “Many thanks to League of Friends for this donation which will hugely benefit our patients.”
It is always a pleasure for the Friends to support requests like this, where a simple item can make such a positive difference. Of course, none of these purchases would be possible without the continued support and generosity of our local community.
