Supporting Caboolture Hospital & The Prince Charles Hospital
Public funding only goes so far, and there's often little left for crucial patient-centered projects.
Giving Day is a team effort, and it’s all of us working together that will achieve the greatest and most significant impacts for our older patients.
With your help, we can change the hospital experience of our oldest patients, and keep them living happier, healthier and fuller lives for longer.
Giving Day provides a wonderful opportunity to show your support for your local hospital and help fund key projects that help elderly patients from both the Caboolture Hospital and The Prince Charles Hospital get home from hospital sooner.
