The Sunshine Coast community should be genuinely proud of the difference its generosity makes to the lives of patients, families and staff of the health service.
In the past financial year, over $1.3 million has been put to important use in the purchase of vital equipment, provision of practical support and the continuing professional development of our best and brightest health heroes.
Included in that gifting has been $664,000 for patient support services such as the Clown Doctors, pet therapy, music therapy and mental health advisory and resilience projects, $407,000 for medical equipment to assist patient care across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie and $233,000 for education and research to support frontline health staff.
As always, decisions around these investments are guided by our frontline health staff who work tirelessly to make the hospital and health experience as positive as possible for those who find themselves in the middle of a health crisis.
On top of that, affordable accommodation with a heart has helped more than 700 families at Reed House, Wishlist Centre and Wishlist House already this year.
Plus thousands of coffees with tasty treats served with love by our coffee managers Jacques, Wendy and their teams in the Wishlist Coffee Houses at Gympie and Nambour hospitals.
Of course, the need for support is ever-present and growing.
To help meet that demand, Wishlist currently has a new campaign running – the Wishlist Daisy Garden.
In celebration of 25 years of Wishlist’s service, for $25 you can plant a daisy in our virtual garden and sow the seeds for the next 25 years of support.
Jump onto our website, plant a daisy in tribute to a loved one invite your family and friends to do likewise.
Your impact is very real and incredibly important – you truly make a difference to people’s lives.
Our Wishlist team is inspired by your support and we thank you for it.
