💙 Gratitude in action 💙

Today, we had the privilege of welcoming Julie and her daughters, Kate and Anna, back to Ward 5 at North Shore Hospital to honour the memory of their much-loved husband and father, Peter.

Peter passed away under the compassionate care of the wonderful Ward 5 team, and in his memory, Julie wanted to pay it forward for other families facing similar circumstances. Through a generous donation it has enabled a La-Z-Boy chair to be gifted to the ward, providing comfort and support for loved ones spending long hours at a patient's bedside.

During their visit, Julie, Kate and Anna had the opportunity to thank Charge Nurse Coralyn and Shyleena, one of the nurses who cared for Peter during his time on the ward.

This thoughtful donation, made possible by Julie’s suggestion to family and friends of a donation in-lieu of flowers is a beautiful example of gratitude and generosity. It will make a meaningful difference to countless families in the years ahead.

Thank you, Julie, Kate and Anna, for choosing to honour Peter's memory in such a special way and for giving back to the hospital team and the patients and families who will follow in your footsteps.
