We recently received a thoughtful donation of handmade IV pump and catheter bags from Rommie and her sewing group in Cottesloe.

Rommie was inspired to give back after her husband was admitted to Bethesda and benefited from one of these specially made bags, sewn by another volunteer. Now, her group of friends will be sewing these bags for our patients on an ongoing basis💙

Thank you, Rommie and team, for your compassion and creativity!
