The early works associated with the redevelopment of the Children’s Ward at Wollongong Hospital are complete, thanks to a generous $250,000 donation from the Illawarra Community Foundation.

Staff at Shellharbour, Shoalhaven and Wollongong Hospitals have swapped work uniforms for their pyjamas as part of an initiative aimed at encouraging patients to get out of bed, into their day clothes and move around more while in hospital.
