Life at Logan Hospital in South East Queensland has just got a whole lot more colourful for its youngest patients.
\nThe playroom and teenagers\u2019 retreat in the Children\u2019s Inpatient Unit have been given a major makeover to help make time in hospital a little less traumatic for families.
\nRadio Lollipop co-ordinated the $8,000 facelift as part of its mission to provide care, comfort, play and entertainment to children in hospital.
\n\u201cSick and injured children have been shown to recover more quickly if they are less stressed, and shorter hospital stays benefit the community in general with less cost to the health system, \u201c according to Bruce Uhlhorn, Chairman of Radio Lollipop International.
\nThe makeover was possible due to the generosity of two community partners \u2013 the Brisbane Broncos Charity Fund, which provided the funding for the eye catching murals by Dan Drule, and the City of Logan Mayor\u2019s Charity Trust which donated the furniture, games systems and Ipads.
\nThe rooms were officially opened by the Acting Logan Mayor Cherie Dalley on Saturday February 16 at a children\u2019s party hosted by our wonderful volunteers, and guests included Brisbane Bronco Sam Tagataese, Batman, Purpelina and many other colourful characters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
