Kilcoy Hospital Operations Coordinator Dave Payne and Kilcoy Hospital Auxiliary Caril Davis with one of the new donated chairs.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our thanks to the Kilcoy Hospital Auxiliary which generously donated six deluxe chairs for patients recently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The six Enhance chairs have several features that make a hospital stay a lot more comfortable for patients.<\/p>\n

They have adjustable seat depth and height, a high backrest incorporating lumbar and lateral support and are on wheels for easy movement around the facility.<\/p>\n

The cushioned seating is pressure relieving for long-term patients. Orthopedic patients can comfortably rest their arms on the padded armrests.<\/p>\n

The chairs have a 60cm wide seat and have capacity for bariatric patients (up to 250kg).<\/p>\n

Kilcoy Hospital Operations Coordinator Dave Payne said the chairs enabled patients with mobility issues to get out of bed and enjoy visits from family and friends in the courtyard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chairs are fantastic for our patients and already very well-used,\u201d Dave said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really appreciate the ongoing support from the Auxiliary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re a wonderful group of people who do so much for the hospital and the wider Kilcoy community.\u201d<\/p>\n
