Making Hospitals and Health Centres More Comfortable for Patients and Their Loved Ones

In 2022, the Health Care Foundation successfully raised funds for two new Cuddle Beds for the Palliative Care Unit at the Dr. L.A. Miller Centre. Cuddle beds give patients and their loved ones the chance to be close while in hospital. With your donations, you can help patients who are terminally ill feel supported with their loved ones by their side. Maintaining physical contact, being touched and experiencing intimacy with family and loved ones help patients who are terminally ill feel supported. In palliative care, these beds can provide relief in the last moments by allowing this closeness, while keeping the patient comfortable without interfering with medical equipment. The Health Care Foundation is responsible for upgrading wayfinding for dementia patients, special dementia doors in long-term care, and making spaces more comfortable through artwork. We have purchased fans for patient rooms, ice machines, blanket warmers, and other patient comfort items not normally covered by a hospital budget.
