Celebrating 40 Years (1978 – 2018)
Friends of the Hospital (FOTH) Auxiliary recently celebrated 40 years with a special morning tea held at Northeast Health in July 2018. The celebrations were well attended by FOTH members both past and present including some of the original ‘Base Birds’.
The Auxiliary was established in 1978 and was initially named the ‘Base Birds’. Although the group’s name has changed, their dedication and commitment to our hospital certainly has not. Well known for their fundraising activities FOTH has raised approximately $815,000 over 40 years which has directly benefited NHW with the purchase of vital medical equipment.
