Some of Mackay’s most vulnerable young patients are benefitting from the gift of refreshed rooms, new amenities, cosy therapeutic bean bags and modern furniture thanks to the generosity of AutoCorner Mackay.
Representatives visited the Children and Adolescent Unit mental health rooms to view the results of their generous donation which was arranged by the Mackay Hospital Foundation.
Nurse unit manager Louise Suner and enrolled nurse Kirby Green gave a tour of the refreshed lounge area and patient rooms.
“We have new couches and tables, all walls and doors are repainted and everything is in cool and calming colours of blue and green,” Louise said.
“The lounge area is more inviting so these patients can come out of their rooms, play board games, eat out here and interact with specialists and their family.
“There are also a couple of big therapeutic bean bags, a cupboard full of games and the blackboard as well.
“Full credit goes to Kirby in our team for arranging this and we are so grateful to Auto Corner Mackay and our Mackay Hospital Foundation for their support.”
Patient rooms also have new beds, and the same colour scheme in ensuite bathrooms with new vanity cabinets.
