🎄✨ We’re delighted to announce that the winner of the Bethesda Health Care Christmas Raffle is our lovely volunteer, Sue! 🎁

A huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets and stopped at our Christmas stall on Friday – your support helps us continue providing additional services for our Palliative Care Unit patients, making their stay a little more comfortable. 💙

It is especially fitting a volunteer won this year’s major prize, as the draw took place on International Volunteers Day. We are so grateful for the quiet acts of service given so generously each week by our amazing volunteer team at Bethesda.

Both the Christmas Raffle winner (0578) and the runner-up (0781) have been notified.

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful holiday season. 🌟

We recently received a thoughtful donation of handmade IV pump and catheter bags from Rommie and her sewing group in Cottesloe.

Rommie was inspired to give back after her husband was admitted to Bethesda and benefited from one of these specially made bags, sewn by another volunteer. Now, her group of friends will be sewing these bags for our patients on an ongoing basis💙

Thank you, Rommie and team, for your compassion and creativity!
