It was an honour to attend the blessing of the newly completed LINAC bunker at Wellington Regional Hospital, marking an important milestone in the installation of two new linear accelerators.
Sitting above these specialised machines, which deliver radiation therapy for people with cancer, our community has helped fund beautiful local landscape lightboxes to create a calmer, more welcoming atmosphere for patients undergoing treatment.
Hospital visits can be challenging, and thoughtful touches like these can help make the experience a little easier.
A huge thank you to our donors, whose generosity helps make these additions possible, and to everyone who has worked so hard behind the scenes to bring this project together.
