Community Support
Mary Potter Foundation presented with $20,000
The recipients of the past three years Annual Art Show proceeds, the Mary Potter Foundation, were presented with a cheque for $20,000 at a recent Club meeting. This brings the total over the three years to $57,000 which has enabled them to purchase a new “outreach” vehicle and special patient lifting equipment.
Patients who choose to spend their last days at home are provided with drugs and other services by an officer from the Mary Potter Hospice who uses the “outreach” vehicle for this purpose. The lifting equipment provides patients with comfortable and safe movement and ensures safety in the workplace for the staff.
