Since the inaugural WAW Latipsoh Day in 2002, the appeal has raised over $600,000 for hospitals throughout North East Victoria and Southern New South Wales including Northeast Health Wangaratta.
2010 Latipsoh Day activities kick off from the 20th of August in Albury. The launch will be a business luncheon at the Commercial Club. This is now the ninth year of the Latipsoh Day Appeal, which supports our local hospitals, health services and bush nursing centres in our region. Latipsoh stands for hospital spelt backwards. It's all about giving back to community hospitals. Last year NHW raised more than $23,000 through this appeal and we hope to increase this level in 2010.
This year funds raised by NHW will be used to purchase an Elcetrocradiogram (ECG) for our Emergency Department. Our ECG machine is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart, it records any problems with the heart's rhythm and the conduction of the heart beat, which may be affected by underlying heart disease. NHW will again be holding our Golf Day on Sunday 29th of August at Jubilee Golf Club as well as selling raffle tickets in the front foyer of the hospital for Good Guys gift vouchers (1st prize $1,500 voucher, 2nd prize $1,000 voucher, 3rd prize $500 voucher), donation envelope mailout, collecting general donations and a range of Latipsoh merchandise will also be available.
