you need the latest info about how to

It’s free on Google Play and iTunes,

and includes information about every

hospital in NSW.

And of course it has all the latest info

on our expanded P1 car park - now

with more than 1000 car spaces, a

guidance system and parking counters

to tell you how many spaces are

available.

So don’t worry, be appy!

GROWING RENAL SERVICES

SAFE AND SOUND: Security officer Joe was keeping close eye on progress as

we added the finishing touches to the new Community Dialysis Centre at Mount

Druitt Hospital this week. Services will commence on Monday 5 February,

starting with a couple of sessions a week, with the capacity to expand in the

future.

Light-filled, accessible, welcoming and patient-centred, it’s a great addition to

the Mount Druitt family! And don’t forget, the Aboriginal Healing Garden next to

the centre is open for everyone to enjoy. For more information about services,

please speak to your dialysis healthcare team.

INSIGHT: C53 Aged Care staff

members Ramona, Chanelle and

Vesna stopped to admire the

temporary exhibition on level 5

this week. This level features

works by visually impaired artist

Susan Oxenham.

Susan is blind in her right eye, and

only has light perception in her

left. Her exhibition Longsighted,

explores her perception of eye

conditions. As well as brightening

up our corridors, staff say it

encourages visitors to think

differently about eye conditions.

SEEING THINGS DIFFERENTLY

ROLLING STOCK: 10 new

wheelchairs have arrived at

Blacktown Hospital.

The wheelchairs are similar to

the previous orange model,

made so they can’t be easily

stolen or accidentally put

into a car boot.

Two are at the front desk

under the care of our

wayfinding volunteers and

the rest are being put to good

use by our porters in General

Services.
