Bahrain - The
American Women's Association (AWA) presented two reclining chairs,
specially designed for the elderly, to the American Mission Hospital (AMH)
yesterday. The presentation
was made at a special ceremony at the hospital. The event coincided
with the hospital's celebration of International Nurses Week. AWA president Suzi
Wyckoff and community services chairwoman Nazi Murad presented the chairs
to hospital chief medical officer Dr Paul Armerding and director of
nursing Tim Gardner. "The AWA
endeavours to support the community of Bahrain in many ways and has been a
long-time supporter of AMH," said Mrs Wyckoff. "With our
latest BD500 donation made last year, we have been able to purchase these
special chairs which will benefit the many elderly in-patients at the
hospital." The
specially-designed chairs are a welcome boost to the hospital's ongoing
programme of providing the best possible health care at the AMH, said Mr
Gardner. "We pride
ourselves in the care that we are able to offer and these chairs further
add to our ability to provide comfort and care for the elderly." The two chairs will be utilised in the medical,
surgical and paediatric units. Copyright
