The Cappagh Hospital Foundation (CHF) and Cappagh Kids, has announced that it has received a €6,794 donation from Tesco Ireland.
The National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh, noted that the sum, donated from the Tesco Community Fund, will ‘undoubtedly make a significant difference to the hospital’s ongoing efforts to ensure a positive hospital experience and exceptional care for its young patients.
Commenting, Sean O’Neill, chair of the Cappagh Hospital Foundation, said: “The Community Fund demonstrates the power of community engagement, and we applaud Tesco for supporting local charities and fostering community spirit.”
Cappagh Kids
Cappagh Kids provides treatment for children with conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system.
Many of these young patients suffer from disability, instability, immobility, and chronic pain, and as they grow, their conditions can worsen.
The hospital offers a comprehensive limb reconstruction programme, and many of the programme participants require repeat surgeries as they grow and significant postoperative rehabilitation.
Cappagh Kids also treat young patients with scoliosis, conditions affecting the hip, upper and lower limb, neuro disability and rare bone disease.
Ms Angela Lee, CEO of the National Orthopaedic Hospital Cappagh, said: “With increasing demands for services in Cappagh Kids, we rely on the generosity of donors to further enhance our patient’s experience with funding for essential equipment, technologies, and to support research and education.
“We are developing a dedicated rehab gym and hope to introduce a paediatric radiology unit at the hospital. Charitable funding is integral to these ambitions, and we are very grateful to Tesco and its customers who pledged tokens to our cause.”
