Donation helps get people on their feet

The five new Sara Stedy devices are non-powered sit-to-stand aids that helps patients and residents move from a seated to a standing position. These devices will enhance the department’s ability to support safe and effective patient mobility, benefiting both patients and staff by reducing the physical demands of patient handling.

The arrival of these long-awaited devices brought a wave of excitement through the department, leading to a unique and spirited celebration. Physiotherapy staff held a lighthearted competition to name each of the Sara Stedy devices, adding a personal and playful touch to their new additions. The fun didn’t stop there, with the team continuing the festivities by staging a "horse race" event to usher the devices into their respective wards, showcasing their enthusiasm and creativity.

Thank you to BDCU Hospital Fundraising Inc for the donation, which will have a lasting impact on patient outcomes and the wellbeing of our staff.
