Where Your Money Goes

The Geelong Hospital Appeal has been set up to allow donors to choose where they would like their money to go. Individuals or groups who make a pledge can direct their money to a particular area or service within Barwon Health or allow the Barwon Health Foundation to put the money where it is needed most.

Contributions can therefore be put towards a service that you as a donor have empathy for such as Cancer Services, the Children’s Ward, Special Care Nursery, The McKellar Centre, Cardiology or Renal Services.

FUNDRAISING FOCUS 2010 - GEELONG HOSPITAL CHILDREN'S WARD RE-DEVELOPMENT

In 2010 The Geelong Hospital Appeal will raise funds to support the Redevelopment of the Children's Ward.

This exciting Multi- million dollar project is a community partnership with Barwon Health to improve patient care and facilities for children and their families in our region.

The redevelopment will commence in early January and to ensure minimum disruption to service delivery in the children's ward it will be staged over a 4 to 5 year period.

The support of the community and business is critical to Barwon Health and the Geelong Hospital Appeal to help us reach our financial goals that will provide significant outcomes. The North wing will be the first stage to be completed and will result in a new High Dependency room that will provide 24hr care for the sickest children, ensuites into rooms with improved facilities, new electric hi-lo beds and various pieces of medical equipment. By the time of completion all rooms, except the day stay, will include ensuites, the playground and play room will have been upgraded and the re will be a new oncology room to service children in their own environment within the Ward.

All monetary donations over $2.00 to the Geelong Hospital Appeal are fully tax deductible.
