Young Hospital Auxiliary’s May Monthly Meeting

The Young Hospital Auxiliary held their monthly meeting on Thursday the 1st of May.

Manager of the oncology unit at the Young Health Facility, Louise Muggridge, was the guest speaker at the meeting.

Libby Plumley, the Young Hospital Auxiliary’s Publicity Officer, said, “Louise said the oncology unit has recently been painted, received new treatment chairs in a range of bright colours and new artwork, creating a more pleasing environment for their patients.”

“The Unit receives between 180-200 patients per month from the Hilltops and surrounding areas within the Murrum

bidgee Local Health Area. By being able to receive oncology treatment at Young saved many patients having to travel long distances for treatment.”

“Auxiliary members were then shown through the oncology unit by Louise and were able to see the unit and cabinet fittings previously purchased by the Auxiliary,” said Libby.

The Auxiliary will be celebrating their 95th birthday next month, on Sunday the 15th of June.

Celebrations will take place with a luncheon at the Young Golf Club.

Guest speaker at the luncheon will be Jessica Conneely from Dancing4Wellbeing.
