With this in mind, the Hay Hospital Auxiliary has been able to supply the McFarland Wing with two new pieces of equipment. After a demonstration and trial, a ‘Rolls Royce’ of Shower Chairs and ‘state of the art’ Lifter have been purchased for the Wing. The shower chair has medical grade, soft touch cushioning for comfort of patients and residents. The equipment allows a better life for patients and better working conditions for staff. “The McFarland wing is home,” said Liz Gibson (President Hospital Auxiliary) , “And needs to be as comfortable as possible.” The Hospital Auxiliary has made many purchases of Medical and other equipment over the years, including a blood testing machine in the ER which allows faster processing to see if patients have had a heart attack, which means treatment can begin faster than in the past. Funds are raised by holding raffles and two very generous bequests from Perc Stratton (2006) and Dot Murone (2004). Michelle Johnson, Pamela Bates (Acting Manager Hay Hospital) Auxillary Members Liz Gibson (Pres), Wendy Heary (Treas) Nerida Reid (Sec) and Gwen Simpson (Life Member), and Mardi Lucas in the chair. 5
