Update from the Hospital Auxillary

The Barraba Branch of the United Hospital Auxiliaries of NSW had a successful meeting on Friday 1^st February.  We are very happy to approve funding for some new toys for the Emergency Department as well as an air fryer for the staff accommodation.  Without our hard working staff we wouldn’t have a hospital so we welcome all opportunities to make things easier and more comfortable for them.

Our focus at present is the organisation of the 2024 Regional Forum involving all the UHA Branches in the New England area.  This is planned for Monday 18^th March at the Playhouse, so hopefully we will have a number of visitors to Barraba on that day.  That day is also the birthday of Ruby Mae Peake, so we will include her mother Kim (Barraba 2023 Citizen of the year) to tell us about Ruby Mae and the charity in her honour.  We hope to showcase Barraba to the UHA members from other branches
