Caring donation for local cancer patients

The Young Services Club board has approved the purchase of two new specialised chairs for the Young Health Service Oncology Unit.

Clinical Nurse Consultant Louise Mugridge has thanked the Young Services Club for their donation as well as the continued support the Young Oncology Unit has received from the community.

"The Community continues to generously support the ongoing needs of the local Oncology Unit," Mrs Mugridge said.

"We want to acknowledge the generosity of the Young Services Club Board members who approved the funds and gratefully thank the community members."

The two new chairs are specialised to help locals who are receiving treatment for a range of cancers.

The seats provide comfort during treatment and have been purchased in a bright and inviting colours to help patients feel a little uplifted while attending the unit.

"Patients are loving the new look bright colours and the ultimate comfort the new chairs bring with improved lumbar support," Mrs Mugridge said.

"The chairs have individual controls which provide greater flexibility for head and leg rest support."

Mrs Mugridge and her staff at the Young Oncology Unit would also like to acknowledge and thank the Young Angler Club who have provided some fantastic new furniture for the waiting room at the Unit which is expected to arrive next week.
