Funding for The Canberra Hospital

The Canberra Hospital has decided to use some funds from Dry July 2015 towards projects benefiting patients in the Apheresis Unit, young adults, and patients and their carers staying at nearby Duffy House.

Funds will go towards the purchase of artwork for Apheresis Unit in the Oncology Ward to make the space a more welcoming and supportive environment for patients in this high use treatment area. Some funds will also go towards a DVD to educate young adult patients undergoing treatment about their cancer journey.

The hospital will continue to use funds towards newspaper subscriptions and flowers for Duffy House, which offers accommodation to cancer patients travelling from outside Canberra for their treatment.
