Local Mum Samantha first brought Zara to Peninsula University Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED) at just two weeks old, hoping for some pain relief for her inconsolable baby.

But in a very short time, Samantha would see her daughter become critically unwell.

This tax time, we are asking our community to support us to purchase new resuscitation equipment of our Paediatric ED.

Find out more of Zara’s story, and make a donation, via the link in comments.

In honour of Palliative Care Week and the 25th anniversary of our Palliative Care Unit, Bayside Health Peninsula welcomed Murrundindi to lead a smoking ceremony.

Our Palliative Care Unit stands on the traditional lands of the Bunurong and Boon Wurrung peoples.

We care for patients with deep cultural, spiritual, and ancestral connections to Country, and we are committed to honouring these traditions while creating a space that is safe, respectful, and healing for all.

Through this smoking ceremony, we sought to cleanse the space, encourage reflection, and offer peace and comfort to everyone who has been part of this unit – patients, families, and staff alike.

This Mother’s Day is especially meaningful for Maria. Not only is it her first, but she gets to spend it with her daughter, Saorise, who came home this week after six days in the Special Care Nursery at Peninsula University Hospital.

Born on Friday 1 May at Sandringham Hospital, Saorise was transferred to our Nursery for additional support – and is now well enough to be home with her parents.

“It’s a surprise that we’re going to be home pin time for Mother’s Day – it’ll be lovely to be settled in,” explains Maria. “But we’ve been really lucky with the care we’ve had here and we’re so grateful for it.”

“The kindness and support the staff have given us as first-time parents, especially in an environment where we didn’t expect to be, has meant so much.”

Congratulations to the new family of three – and to Dad, who is planning to spoil Mum with some present shopping, with assistance from his new little helper 💛
