Supporting the Nurses, Midwives, and Staff of Whittlesea Maternity and Child Health

At Reach, we are dedicated to supporting the incredible nurses, midwives, and staff of Whittlesea Maternity and Child Health. These healthcare professionals play a vital role in the well-being of our community, providing essential care and support to mothers, babies, and families. Our initiative aims to give back to these dedicated individuals by offering resources, appreciation events, and community support.

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.

Appreciation Events:

  • Recognition Ceremonies: Regular ceremonies to honor and celebrate the dedication and achievements of nurses, midwives, and other staff members. These events include awards, certificates, and public acknowledgments.
  • Wellness Days: Organizing wellness days that offer relaxation activities, such as massages, and mindfulness workshops to help alleviate stress and promote well-being.

Community Support:

  • Volunteer Assistance: Mobilizing community volunteers to assist with non-medical tasks at Whittlesea Maternity and Child Health, allowing healthcare staff to focus more on patient care.
  • Family Support Programs: Initiatives to support the families of healthcare workers, such as childcare services, family events, and support groups.
