The Toowoomba Hospital Foundation have been a steadfast organisation in the Toowoomba community since 1991 and since have continually blown our community away with their incredible fundraising events, charity organisations and work they do for their patient wellness programs and people in need.
They have come a very long way since their first donation given in 1995 for just $500. The Toowoomba Hospital Foundation supports our community by helping to fund equipment, services and programs as well as staff development, research and scholarships for Darling Downs Health.
They are a team of passionate, caring and incredible individuals who are helping care for families and their loved ones in our region. 100% of the donations recieved go exactly where they are needed, whether it is a new maternity ward, funding for research and so much more.
The foundation provides funding for state of the art equipment and care designed to enhance the level of care their patients recieve and ensure they are being given the best possible care.
Their patient wellness programs feature musical therapy, art therapy and delta dog therapy as alternative modes of therapy for patients in need. It is an excellent progam designed to help chronically or mentally ill people.
One of their current initiatives is the ability to hire a free sunscreen truck for events in order to make sure that everyone has readily available to sun safety - an extremely important initiaitve this time of year!
This is just listing a few of the amazing things they are currently doing to help the community and support their patients.
So, how can you continue to support them? Attend events, give donations, become a sponsor! There are so many fun and creative options for you to choose from.
