Ipswich Hospital now has a brand new, larger fridge for the parents lounge in the Children’s Sunshine Ward, a microwave to heat up baby food and brand new baby swings

Acting Nurse Unit Manager Karen Freed said the fridge in the parents lounge will be well utilised.

“Many of our parents stay overnight so a fridge that can house their meals and the breakfast foods and snacks we provide is so worthwhile.”

“The microwave will be used each day to heat up baby food and the baby swings are so handy for settling our smallest patients!

“These items are simple but are so key to helping our patients and their families have a more comfortable stay at what can often be a stressful time,” she said.
