ANAM Cara Geelong has been awarded a $400,000 grant from Hospice Foundation Geelong (HFG) to support its palliative care services at its Waurn Ponds Facility.<\/p>\n

The contribution will be used to enhance the quality of care and comfort for guests and their families.<\/p>\n

Anam Cara provides overnight and end-of-life care, a living well day program, bulk billed consultations and community outreach and equipment loans.<\/p>\n

Anam Cara chief executive officer Vanessa McColl said her organisation could not express how thankful it was to the Hospice Foundation Geelong for its generosity.<\/p>\n

“The grant reflects HFG’s genuine belief in our care model and the dedication of our staff and volunteers.<\/p>\n

“Their support will truly make a difference in the lives of our guests and their families when they need it most.”<\/p>\n

HFG were a matching donor during the recent Anam Cara Giving Day campaign and are a volunteer run organisation, committed to improving palliative care services in the Geelong region.<\/p>\n

The Giving Day allowed for an extra six overnight and end-of-life bedrooms, expanding the facility’s capacity to 12 bedrooms.<\/p>\n

HFG Board Chair Sue White said they are delighted to support Anam Cara with the grant.<\/p>\n

“Their commitment to providing high-quality palliative care aligns perfectly with our mission and we are proud to contribute to their essential work.<\/p>\n

“I look forward to seeing the positive impact this funding will have.”<\/p>\n

Referrals to Anam Cara can be made by any medical practitioner, nursing staff, allied health practitioners, family, friends and those seeking care.<\/p>\n
