Located on Clayton Road at 246, our Family Room offers a peaceful escape from the clinical environment of the ward.

Inside our inviting Family Room, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, a full bathroom, and laundry facilities.

By giving your children some much-needed space to play, we aim to make your time in the hospital a little bit easier.

Thanks to generous donations, families can enjoy this home-away-from-home without any charges. It is our mission to ensure that families have a comfortable and supportive environment during their hospital stay.
