As part of the Staff Appreciation BBQ celebrations, we will be drawing several prizes for all staff, professional staff, learners and volunteers during the BBQ (being held June 13 at 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.).

Prizes have been donated from a variety of businesses who belong to the Affinity List, we thank them for their continued support for our Hospital and staff.

There are currently no blue STAXI or other wheelchairs in the Main Lobby for patients and others, forcing them to wait until a chair is returned before they can get to their appointments in the Hospital.

The blue Staxi wheelchairs were purchased through funds from the Hospital and the Volunteer Association for the volunteers to use for the transport of patients and others to and from the Main Lobby.

If you see any blue Staxi wheelchairs in or around your unit/department/an in-patient room, please see that they are returned to the Main Lobby as soon as possible or contact the volunteer at ext. 4304.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
