The problem….Eastern Health Hospital Paediatric Units (The Angliss, Maroondah Hospital, Box Hill Hospital) are not supported by many of the major fundraisers throughout the year.
Our local paediatric units are in desperate need of resources - everything from coloured pencils to help entertain kids pre-op, through to ultrasound machines to assist in finding veins and distraction equipment for procedures to reduce anxiety, pain and fear.
Hospital-grade sensory kits are needed to support our children and youth and this is currently unfunded.
Over the last year this is how many children were cared for at our local hospitals:
Box Hill 11,160
Angliss 10,414
Maroondah 10,221
PLUS 4000 outpatients and a new baby every 2 hours!
THAT’S A LOT OF KIDS NEEDING OUR HELP!
Our VISION
To unite our community in a way to ensure our local kids, in our local hospitals have the best possible care and experience.
Our Mission
To raise funds through the Mountain to Melbourne event, to enhance supports and equipment that minimize fear and anxiety in our local children at our local hospitals, with a neuro-affirming lens.
