From a Christmas concert by The Republic Cultural Centre, Republic Polytechnic to ward-roving carols by Shalom Baptist Church and our Music-on-the-Move trio, Daniel, Jasmine, and Ai Cheo, our campus was filled with music, bringing people together and spreading joy and comfort.

Our student group and Art-on-the-Move volunteers also got crafty, distributing hand-made greeting cards for patients by Project Hearts & Crafts, gifting a hand-decorated Christmas tree with ornaments made with patients to our JCH ward by Project Soulace, and making DIY baubles. Every gift and gesture was a heartfelt creation and gesture, made with sincerity and love.

We truly appreciate everyone who contributed to making this festive season special!

Last Saturday, our amazing team of 50 staff volunteers brought the holiday spirit to life at St Andrew's Nursing Home (Taman Jurong), a service of SAMH and SACS.

We kicked off the Christmas Party with a lively Mambo warm-up, followed by fun sports games and sure-win fruits and veggie-themed bingo!

Residents joined in singing their favourite carols, filling the hall with joy and laughter. Our volunteers brought the festive cheer up close to ward-bound residents, who also got to enjoy games and even learnt to make Christmas crafts.

Thanks to the generosity of staff, we delighted the residents with groceries, mini bolsters, and special Christmas care packs!

It was an all-rounded sweet, spicy and nice evening as we gathered on 5 December to celebrate the heart of our hospitals - our dedicated Friends of JurongHealth Campus (FOJHC) volunteers. It was a fun-filled evening packed with craft-making, performances, games, lucky draw prizes and a sumptuous nine-course dinner.

This year alone, our amazing volunteers have contributed more than 11,000 hours, supporting over 55,000 patients and visitors across our hospital lobbies, clinics and wards. Their dedication in giving time and energy to bring joy, hope and human connection to our hospitals, has brought much comfort to our patients and support to our staff.

Because of our FOJHC volunteers and partners, our hospitals have become warmer and a more welcoming place with more smiles.

Special thanks to our senior leaders and Swissbake for making the celebration extra special with their generous contributions of lucky draw prizes and treats.
