Increasingly, members of new and emerging communities are using the services of the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) in particular the Lyell McEwin Hospital and Elizabeth GP Plus, and are at times finding it difficult to navigate these services.

We received great support from NALHN teams across Special Care Nursery, Children’s Ward and Staff Health to plan and coordinate this program.  

Crochet octopus comforters will be given to premature babies to promote bonding and help prevent them pulling on tubes and cords, as part of a South Australian first pilot in the Lyell McEwin Hospital’s Special Care Nursery.

New! Wheelchairs! The program will be launched at the Main Guide Desk and rolled out to the other desks after a pilot period and when shifts are filled.
