The Palliative Care room at the Weyburn General Hospital has received a makeover.
Upon touring one of the palliative care rooms, the Weyburn Cancer Survivor Support Group for Women decided that they would commit to redoing one of the rooms.
The Weyburn Cancer Survivor Support Group for Women (Sharing the Journey) current facilitators are Sharon Werstuik, Linda Unrau, Tanis VanDeSype, Tammie Morrison and Vickie Betker. Meetings are every second Wednesday of the month at the Weyburn Public Library.
Women are encouraged to come share and receive support for their Journey as cancer survivors. email : sharingthejourney@sasktel.net
“The rooms at the Weyburn General Hospital have not been updated for quite some time and although the community looks forward to having a new hospital in the future, in the meantime, many patients will travel through our existing hospital. Our group decided to coordinate and donate the refinishing of one of the palliative care rooms”, said Werstuik. “Our group partnered with Simple with a Twist to achieve the makeover.”
Local photographer, Tina Hudson, donated two beautiful photographs of local landscapes to adorn the walls and Weyburn Canadian Tire, Microtel Hotel, Dempsey Laird Trucking Ltd., Weyburn Public Library (Dress Down for Charity) generously donated many of the accessories with the remainder of the items purchased by the Weyburn Cancer Survivor Support Group for Women. Simple with a Twist chose the color palette, shopped and installed the items.
“We felt it was important for the patients and their families to have a nicer environment to be in, at a sacred time of closure. We hope our intension to bring comfort is felt by those that spend time in this room”, stated Heather van der Breggen of Simple with a Twist.
The fresh new look was completed on July 14.
