St John of God Burwood Hospital, a private mental health facility located in the inner west of Sydney, has been providing personalised, compassionate care for over 60 years. The hospital offers a range of treatments for conditions such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders and perinatal mental health, alongside general psychiatry services.
Thanks to a generous legacy gift from a member of the Burwood community, caregivers at St John of God Burwood Hospital will be able to provide exceptional care in a peaceful environment, supported by state-of-the-art equipment. This thoughtful donation will make a profound impact — bringing comfort and support to patients in their time of need.
The donation will support the refurbishment and furnishing of patient lounges, kitchen areas, group rooms and bedrooms at the hospital, as well as the acquisition of essential equipment for the hospital’s rehabilitation gym. These improvements provide patients with spaces where they can relax, socialise and engage in their recovery journey with greater comfort and dignity.
Director of Clinical Services Cindy Foot expressed her sincere gratitude for the gift.
“Any refurbishment or equipment we are able to provide patients is always appreciated and enjoyed. Being away from home, family, and friends is a challenging time for patients, and having open spaces where they can feel at ease makes a big difference,” she said.
“It’s always heart-warming to walk down the hallways and see patients sharing a tea, watching TV or talking in a comfortable lounge.”
