Sleep Care Packs
It’s not always easy getting a good night’s sleep in a busy hospital environment and a lack of sleep can lead to a slower recovery. Using donated sleep masks and earplugs, Dr Edward Palmer of Nelson Hospital undertook a research project which showed the use of sleep masks and earplugs improved patients’ sleep quality during their hospital stay.
Whanau and Patient Lounges
Our patients’ families play an important role in their recovery so providing a space where whanau can relax and rejuvenate supports everyone including our staff who have asked The Care Foundation, with your support, to refurbish the Whanau and Patient Lounges at Nelson and Wairau Hospitals, creating spaces where patients’ families and friends can have those private conversations, reflect and recharge.
Area of Greatest Needs
The Care Foundation funds a range of healthcare initiatives across the Region, your donation to the ‘Area of Greatest Need Fund’ will help us respond quickly to health needs identified within our community.
