Three procedure carts bought with gold coin donations
The funds raised at a Woy Woy shopping centre have enabled the Central Coast Health's Children's Fund to purchase three procedure carts for the Special Care Nursery at Gosford Hospital.
The procedure carts allow for treatment items and emergency equipment to be readily available for vulnerable patients, particularly when the situation is time critical.
Children's Fund chair Ms Priscilla Jones said the hospital was grateful to Deepwater Plaza for initiating the fundraiser.
More than $5800 was collected in gold coin donations on the shopping centre's Big Change for Small Change day was held on August 17.
"We presented a cheque to the Gosford Hospital Inpatient Unit on October 23," said Deepwater Plaza marketing manager Ms Jodie Elkin.
Ms Elkin said she was overwhelmed by the community's generosity.
"The Peninsula community has once again dug deep," said Ms Jones.
