In partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Bendigo's Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch, the Bendigo Health Foundation is proud to co-fund a new Prostate Cancer Nurse Specialist at Bendigo Health.

Ray Nicholson has been appointed to guide patients through every stage of diagnosis and treatment, providing expert care and compassionate support when it’s needed most.
With more than 400 new prostate cancer diagnoses each year across our region, this vital role means more personalised care for local patients and their families.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Marnie from the Reservoir Hotel to our Palliative Care Unit, where she presented another incredibly generous donation from their end of year Christmas raffle

Thanks to Marnie and the amazing team at the Reservoir Hotel, more than $50,000 has now been raised for our Palliative Care Unit. This ongoing support has helped fund massage therapy, important refurbishments and the creation of a dedicated kids’ room, pictured here, providing comfort to patients and families when it’s needed most.

Thank you for your outstanding generosity and continued commitment to our community. We are so grateful 💙

Your generosity will help fund vital equipment and resources for our Cardiology Department, supporting lifesaving care for patients across our region when seconds matter most.

Thank you for backing our cardiology teams and helping ensure world-class heart care is available close to home. We look forward to sharing how your support will make a real difference in Bendigo Health’s Cath Lab! 💙
