This CAN GIVE DAY our Canberra Health Services teams are going above and beyond to help support our fundraising. There will be a range of activities and events this week and on the day, Friday 21 October.
The funds raised through CAN GIVE DAY support staff-led projects throughout the year! New projects and programs that enhance healthcare, including clinical trials and medical research in Canberra, therapeutic and supportive programs, transformations of away-from-bed areas, and the purchase of speciality medical equipment.
The Canberra Hospital Foundation is the only organisation that exists to raise funds to help support the delivery of exceptional patient care in all public hospitals and health centres in Canberra, including:
- Canberra Hospital
- Centenary Hospital for Women, Youth & Children
- Calvary Public Hospital
- Canberra Region Cancer Centre
- University of Canberra Hospital
- Community Health Centres and Walk in Centres across Canberra
Getting involved in CAN GIVE DAY is not only a way to support these projects and programs, but a great way to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Canberra Health Services teams.
Thank you to our Canberra Health Services teams who have gone out of their way to support CAN GIVE DAY.
