Men lift patients’ spirits
EIGHT tables have made a big difference to the chemo day therapy unit at the Leongatha Hospital thanks to Marg Fox.
She has been a frequent visitor to the unit for the eight years she has been undergoing chemotherapy.
Seeing a need for side tables at the new hospital, she suggested to hospital staff the Leongatha Men’s Shed might be able to help.
The men’s shed made the tables which match the height of the chairs and are ideal for morning tea, magazines and other personal effects.
Attending the unit for treatment, Patricia Williams is impressed.
“We would be lost without the tables. They are stable and versatile,” she said.
Of the new hospital Patricia says, “We are treated like royalty. The old hospital was lovely but this one! The freshness and the cleanness!
She believes the involvement of the men’s shed in such initiatives is fantastic.
Frank McGarvey and Ken Reid of the Leongatha Men’s Shed say it has been a win-win all around.
