Donation for children at Gosford Hospital

The Swampies Golf Club Woy Woy has made a donation of $12,539 to Central Coast Health's Gosford Hospital Children's Fund at a cheque presentation held at Everglades Country Club on Tuesday, August 8.

The donation has been used to purchase a monitor for use when intubating with a laryngoscope, providing quality and dependable equipment for children having surgical procedures.

The money was also used to purchase two syringe drivers for the smallest of our patients in the Special Care Nursery with these being used to facilitate safe intravenous medication administration to sick babies.

The donations are consistent with the group's philosophy of charitable assistance whenever possible.

Club treasurer Mr Warwick Ford presented the cheque to Health District fundraising manager Ms Jan Richens.

Ms Richens said: "The Swampies golfers have been consistent donors to our Children's Fund for many years and we are very grateful when groups such as theirs contribute financially to the care of our patients.

"All donations received by the District remain on the Coast to benefit the local community and, in this case, providing care to our sick and injured children."

The Swampies Club will celebrate its 39th year this year.
