Christmas Message from Millstreet Community Hospital

Christmas in Millstreet Community Hospital is about sharing the joy and spirit of Christmas with the whole community…..that’s why we were delighted to be a part of many community events that took place over the past year.

Extending a heartfelt thanks to the many volunteers and organisations who helped us to make it possible.

A special word of thanks to Sharon Lane parish office and Canon John Fitzgerald who helped us ensure the spiritual needs of the residents were met.

Huge thanks and appreciation to the Friends of Millstreet Community Hospital in particular Mary Fitzgerald and Lena Kelleher who ensure our residents comforts are met by continuous fund raising.

The Parents Association Millstreet who have been an invaluable resource to us and form a great link to the community.  Special thanks to Lisa Corkery who organised an inter-generational project between the children and our residents recently. The candle making was thoroughly enjoyed by young and old.

Millstreet Comhaltas Group, in particular Marie O’Sullivan and Caroline Lehane have entertained our residents throughout the year lifting their spirits and filling our day room with fun and laughter. Your effort is hugely appreciated.

The Vintage Club have visited to coincide with the switching on of the Christmas lights and it was a real highlight this year to see the cars drive up the avenue  twinkling decorated beautifully. The residents loved it.

Huge thanks to Gillian Gilbourne in Millstreet Library for welcoming some of our residents to the weekly Knit and Natter group and for all her support throughout the year.

 The members of Red Cross who volunteer their service to the residents.

Carriganima Community Group for fundraising and use of the community bus for residents’ outings.
