New life for patients: 20,000 euros for fresh wheelchairs in the district hospital
In the Osterholz district hospital, there is gratifying news: The facility can now replace outdated patient wheelchairs with new models, which will not only bring about improving the equipment, but also of comfort for the patients. This upgrade was made possible by a generous donation of 20,000 euros, which has recently received.
The donation comes from a private foundation from Lilienthal, the origins of which are 28 years ago. Originally founded to support the Martin Hospital, which is now known as the Lilienthal Clinic, the foundation has now expanded its activities to the healthcare system throughout Osterholz. As district councilor Heike Schumacher explained in the district council, a service club wanted to do something good for the district hospital and decided to donate the "Health Landkreis Osterholz Foundation". This funding organization was launched in 1996 and has been committed to improving health care in the region.
The district council decision
An important step to take the donation is the decision of the district council, which, as stipulated in the main statute, is required for payments over 2,000 euros. This decision was unanimously approved, which underlines the need and broad consensus on the importance of the purchase of new wheelchairs. Wilfried Pallasch, member of the citizens' faction and chairman of the plant committee for the district hospital, was particularly pleased with the support. He had already suggested in the past to replace the old, barely usable wheelchairs with new, ergonomic models.
Pallasch optimistic about this development in the district council. He noticed that the old wheelchairs have done their job for many years, but are now more difficult to work than right. "The old things have not been good for a long time and hardly to be used," he said. The new wheelchairs are expected to improve the mobility of the patients significantly, which not only makes the stay in the hospital more pleasant, but also supports the work of the nursing staff.
In summary, it can be said that the financial support from the private foundation is not only an important sign of solidarity, but also a real improvement for patients in the district hospital. The decision to purchase new patient wheelchairs is another example of how, through cooperation between different institutions and accompanied by public engagement, positive changes in healthcare can be brought about.
