Digital Frames Bringing Families Closer in Hospital
Patients, especially those from rural areas, struggle to connect with loved ones in hospital. This can lead to social isolation and reduced opportunities to communicate. The digital frame lets patients connect with family and friends outside the hospital.
Supporting Indigenous and Rural patients
We helped provide essential items like clothing, toiletries, and short-term accommodation to make sure that Aboriginal patients have the things they need. For example, we provide warm clothes to people from remote areas. This ensures their comfort during their hospital stay.
Honouring Life's Last Moments
It's an end-of-life program which honours the dignity of dying patients by fulfilling their last wishes. It also fosters meaningful connections with loved ones. One touching example is leaving the patient’s handprint on a canvas. This provides a lasting and personal memory.
