“It takes a village to raise a child,” is a well-known proverb that infers it takes an entire community to ensure our children grow up in a safe and healthy environment. I have been thinking about how the same sentiment can be applied to the love, generosity and goodwill of people in the community who are passionate about supporting their local hospital so the best care can be provided for everyone. 

The community came together in support of the hospital Healing Garden project and every day it’s making a real difference for patients, visitors and staff. The resounding feedback is that the space is calming, tranquil and uplifting. We’re also thrilled to say that the Healing Garden has just won a Platinum Award at the prestigious International Biophilic Design Awards. Biophilic design explains the instinctive positive response to nature. The judges said the project was outstanding, as it captured the essence of connections to nature and how they are prioritised within a building to benefit the wellbeing of people. Thank you once again to everyone who donated to the Healing Garden – you made it possible.

Golf Day to support mothers and babies at North Shore Hospital
If you fancy a round of golf with a group of friends or colleagues, join us for the annual Drive 4 Life Charity Golf Day on Thursday 5 December at Waitematā Golf Course. This annual event has been hosted by the North Shore Rotary Club for over 20 years to support our local hospital. This year funds raised will enable new technology and equipment for the maternity and special care baby unit. Ambrose teams of four, great fun, food and festivities.
