Hospital auxiliary volunteers are thanked

Volunteers from the Woy Woy hospital auxiliary have been thanked by the Central Coast Local Area Health District for their donations to Gosford and Woy Woy Hospitals.

District chief Dr Andrew Montague said the volunteers had done an incredible job of fundraising for local hospitals and health services over the past 12 months.

"The District is extremely grateful to these dedicated volunteers who give up their time to sew, bake and hold various fundraisers to benefit our hospitals and patients.

"Every one of these auxiliary members from Woy Woy are committed to supporting our health services and the local community, and we commend them for these wonderful efforts," Dr Montague said.

"Their generosity does not go unnoticed.

"It is greatly appreciated by all of our staff, management and most importantly, our patients.

"These purchases make a big difference to their experience and treatment," Dr Montague said.

The auxiliary is always keen to recruit more community-minded locals who are willing and available to help out with sewing, knitting, baking or cooking or simply lending their time to take part in one of the fundraising activities.
