About the Program
Supporting the Nurses, Midwives, and Staff of Whittlesea Maternity and Child Health is a community-driven program designed to recognize and assist the hardworking healthcare professionals who ensure the health and happiness of our youngest residents and their families.
Program Components
Resource Provision:
- Supplies and Equipment: We provide essential supplies and equipment to help nurses and midwives deliver the best possible care. This includes medical supplies, comfort items for patients, and tools that enhance their work environment.
- Comfort Materials: We offer items that the Nurses can give to their vulnerable patients during times of poor health, as a comfort item to help them get through the situation. It may not seem like much, but something as small as an item, toy, blanket, prayer can be the hope they need.
