Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) is putting out the call for community members who are passionate about volunteering to be involved in a new program to support older people at Shoalhaven Hospital.

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.
