Families will have a more comfortable space to talk to their loved one's medical team thanks to a $10,000 donation from the Do Good Divas.
The conference room in the intensive care unit, where the medical team often has to have difficult conversations with families, is being redone.
“It will provide a safe space to have meaningful conversations about loved ones and their wishes,” said Sharra Hodgins, Interim Director of Critical Care, Cardiology and Respiratory Therapy for Windsor Regional Hospital.
The funds were raised through the annual Do Good Divas' Girls Night Out in Handbag Heaven event. For the first time, the event was held virtually due to COVID-19. But it still managed to raise $10,000 for the hospital.
“COVID-19 has made us all reflect and recognize the importance of family, and how we are able to care for each other and support each other during challenging times,” says group President Gale Simko-Hatfield. “The Do Good Divas are proud to provide funds to support a project that gives families a safe, private, warm and comfortable space to meet with clinicians and hold these delicate, emotional conversations.”
The Do Good Divas has raised over $650,000 for local healthcare over the years.
