Some babies are admitted to Neonatal Units for several hours and some for many months. This has considerable impact on parents, siblings, extended family and staff, a true ripple effect.
Each baby is unique, each stay is unique but for most it is totally unexpected. Being separated from your baby isnβt what was planned. The babies admitted to Bunbury Regional Hospital Neonatal Unit generally stay 1 to 7 days. Their parents may be feeling overwhelmed and isolated during that time.
We are pleased to announce expansion of our Care Package Program to Bunbury Regional Hospital π With thanks to volunteer delivery driver Sharni, each month BRH Neonatal Unit will receive 30 βSpecial Care Packsβ for distribution to babies admitted to their unit.
We are very conscious of expanding our programs in a sustainable way. It is thanks to the generosity of the community that we can continue to grow, and support more WA families each year.
