Woy Woy bowlers donate funds for a special hospital bed
Woy Woy Bowling Club presented the proceeds of the "Wrong Bias" to Gosford Hospital for the purchase of a lift care bed.
The amount collected was $627 and the presentation was made by Bowls Club President, Glen Smith to Sister Jane-Maree Hunter, Nursing Unit Manager, Ward 19, Gosford District Hospital.
The lift care bed will cost $4970 and is used to be able to raise and lower patients using electric motors.
Without this bed, many patients suffering from illnesses such as stroke, dementia or need aged care and are at risk of falling out of a normal hospital bed are nursed on the floor making it difficult for all concerned.
The "Wrong Bias Tin" has to date seen a total of $1087 raised in donations.
The other funds of $460 were presented to the Children's Cancer Clinic to help their objectives.
The "Wrong Bias Tin" was introduced by Cyril Friedwald through his concern for others.
