Dry July is an incredible initiative that has supported Bendigo Health over many years and has resulted in the purchase of specialised medical equipment and projects. Funds raised through Dry July 2018 will purchase items to update Bendigo Health’s Cancer Patient Accommodation – Lucan Street. This includes comfortable recliner chairs and lighting in each unit and will make a great deal of difference to patients and their families who use the service.

More than a quarter of a million people in central Victoria rely on Bendigo Health when they need specialist treatment and care and Bendigo Health Patient Accommodation Services are used by many of these patients who travel long distances to receive treatment.
Manager of Bendigo Health’s Patient Accommodation Services Tyrone Jones said, “The Lucan Street properties are definitely in need of some new recliners as the current ones have been there a long time and are becoming unsightly. We are looking at replacing the current chairs with new recliners in a wipe down fabric. These recliners are essential as they are very comfortable and provide people receiving treatment something to be able to rest in.’
Bendigo Health’s involvement with Dry July aligns so well, as it aims to raise funds to improve the wellbeing of people affected by cancer and awareness of drinking habits and the value of a balanced healthy lifestyle.

Scalp Cooling Cap System

Bendigo Health is using Dry July 2016 funds towards the purchase of a scalp cooling system. The system will give chemotherapy patients the opportunity to significantly improve hair retention during treatment. It can result in a high level of retention or complete hair preservation for some patients, which can significantly improve self-confidence and dignity during a difficult time.

Nolan Street Renovation Update

On the 5th of May, Joel (Project Manager for the Nolan Street Unit renovations), Sharyn (Occupational Therapist) and Jane (Director - Bendigo Health Foundation) were fine tuning the renovation plans for the Nolan Street cancer accommodation to ensure they will have the best outcomes for everyone. The builders will start Mid-year and we look forward to posting some photo’s along the way.
