“Hunter New England Health Peel area manager Kylie Whitford thanked the Hospital Auxiliary members for all they do for the local hospital and wished us well for all future fundraising efforts,” Vicki McIvor said.

“Ms Whitford  then presented us with a certificate of appreciation  for our achievements in supplying new equipment to the Walcha MPS. The Certificate will be framed and will remain in the foyer of the Hospital.”

The Walcha Hospital Auxiliary members presented a new observation machine worth $3,600 and one garden hose with retractable reels to Ms Whitford who accepted on behalf of the staff.

“Our president Phillipa Lawrence would like to thank members of the community for their valued support and take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas,” said Mrs McIvor.
