The new ride-on mowers at RBWH are a cut above the rest at keeping campus gardens looking their best. 🏡💚

The Metro North Environment and Waste Team recently received new electric mowers for use at RBWH and Rosemount campuses, replacing the older fuel-powered models.

RBWH Gardens Coordinator Brad, pictured with gardener, Alex has been enjoying the benefits.

"The new mowers are quieter and don't produce exhaust fumes, so we can use them closer to patients, staff and visitors," Brad said.

"The electric model is also more sustainable, which means they're better for the planet, while providing a much better user experience for the operator."

Meet 'Dog-tor' Olive - she's bringing smiles to the faces of patients at STARS. 🐕

Pats, cuddles and lots of love are the order of the day whenever Olive and her guardian, Rosie visit, with the effects playing a role in patient rehabilitation and lifting the spirits of those who are having a 'ruff' day. 😍

🐕 Two-year-old Olive has been a 'Delta Dog' for five months, her lovely temperament and training mean that she works hand-in-paw with the rehabilitation teams to support patients and their families to support their recovery. 

@deltatherapydogs Volunteer Rosie is a Clinical Nurse Consultant and sees the benefit of working closely with the hospital to give patients the best outcomes from their visits.

🤗 "It's nice to see the smiles on the patient's faces when Olive and I walk in." she said

"Often patients share stories about their pet waiting for them at home. This is great memory recall and works in a positive way to help patients get home sooner."

The positive effect Olive has on patients, is a reminder of the important role four-legged family members play in our lives
