Hospital Ward Grandparent Scheme

Breaking News!!! Breaking News!!! Breaking News!!!

AWCH Ward Grandparent Scheme at Taree

AWCH would like to welcome the newest member of the AWCH Hospital Ward Grandparent Scheme, Manning Rural Referral Hospital at Taree on the mid north coast of NSW which has recently recruited Margaret Olive to be the first ward granny at the hospital.


Margaret Olive

Margaret worked as a pink lady at Crown St thirty years ago. She worked two days per week caring for the babies in the nursery who had been surrendered for adoption. Since then she has done school mentoring and wanted to get back into work similar to the work she did at Crown St.

So Margaret contacted the hospital and the result was the establishment of the Scheme, which provides care and support for children, young people and their families in hospital. To find out more about the Scheme, contact Anne Cutler on 02 9631 9208 or check it out at http://www.awch.org.au/Ward_Gran_Scheme.htm
