In June this year, Peninsula Health was the recipient of a very generous donation by the Club at the annual Lions Club Disbursements dinner held in Safety Beach.
Since 2013, the Lions Club of Dromana has contributed over $125,000 to Rosebud Hospital.
Their most recent donation included over $11,300 for two sign monitors in Hillview Ward, a recliner chair in the Hillview Ward break room, and a Hemodialysis Teaching aid for the Dialysis Department.
In addition this year, the Club donated an extra $5,000 towards Peninsula Health’s Take Break for Cancer Appeal, which helped to raise funds for new equipment to support the early diagnosis of prostate cancer to assist all the men in our lives.
Peninsula Health’s Operations Director of the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Departments, Trish O’Neill, attended the evening and met with members of the Club to express her gratitude on behalf of the organisation. According to Trish, the evening was a “humbling and lovely night.”
The Dromana Lions Club hold their Disbursements Dinner annually and use the evening to distribute funds raised to various recipients. Peninsula Health would again like to thank all members of the Club for their incredible efforts and ongoing support for our organisation.
As long time supporters of Rosebud Hospital, members of the Lions Club of Dromana have spent endless hours fundraising to support the purchase of significant equipment and furnishings designed to assist members of our community who require care.
