The Russell and Area Palliative Care Group would like to thank the students, hockey players and teachers from the Major Pratt School in Russell or anyone who supported them – for their generous gift given to the Russell Hospital, from their hockey game and fundraising for the Palliative Care Unit.
Some of this gift will be used towards new furniture for our Palliative patients’ rooms, including sleep chairs for family members to use.
We receive many generous monetary gifts from families and friends, who have used our facilities at the hospital. We use the money to replace a number of items including a bed, a reclining chair - all these need to be replaced in time, to keep up with standards.
Also, a big thank you to the Art Farm, for the beautiful paintings on the room dividers in our Sunroom.
This past year we redid our landscaping in the area outside the Sunroom toward the cancer care building and new siding on the outside of the Sun room.
We pay a personnel to be our secretary, visit with patients and their families – see to their needs and wants. We provide sitting with these patients, if their family members needs support and comfort.
We live in a very generous thoughtful community and surrounding areas.
Thank You, Russell & Area Palliative Care Group
