Your Hospital in the heart of Your Community
Springfield hospital is delighted to translate the Springfield
vision of being Your hospital in the heart of Your community, by
being involved in the community and participation in events and
through sponsorship and raising funds for charities such as: Helen
Rollason and S.A.F.E (Supporting Aspergers Families in Essex).
Our staff have recently taken part in the Race4Life to
raise funds for breast cancer and were sponsored with kit and a
donation. The business office team attended North Weald and had a
very emotional day with each person having their own personal
thoughts for wanting to take part. Off went the runners in front
followed by the walkers behind. The 1st runner through the finish
line was at a time of 24 minutes, the Springfield team followed in
just over an hour to receive a well earned medal.
Well done to Ronnie, Janette, Maureen, Sarah, Penny, Marion,
Wendy, Charlotte and Cathy they raised a fantastic £829.00 for
Breast cancer.
In addition Janette Boyd
came to work in fancy dress as a nun as an extra fund raising
initiative and was sponsored by David Hewitt our General manager to
do so, on the day others also contributed to her effort and it all
went towards the total sum of £829.00. Well done Janette.
American Independence Day - 2010 Funds raised:
On American Independence Day the management cooked an excellent
BBQ for the staff for donations to charity. Donations on the day
went to SAFE the Aspergers charity of which our Paediatric nurse
Gill Noble is a member and the sum of £50 was raised and presented
to Gill.
Funds were also raised for SAFE at the staff and consultant ball
this year when a further £530 was raised.
During the World Cup – 2010
We held the Springfield world cup competition to guess who would
be the winning team the winner went home with £65 and the winner
was invited to choose which charity would receive 25% of the pot,
or £32.50. The winner choose Marie Curie Cancer Care to receive the
funds.
In May 2010 we launched our new Digital Mammography service with an
official ribbon cutting event by Dave Monk the BBC Essex DJ. The
new equipment is cutting edge technology which enables a much
clearer image to be produced of the breast and facilitates a more
accurate diagnosis.
In recognition of this event we purchase a new PC system for the
Helen Rollason centre for the benefit of patients and staff
alike.
A fund raising day for Little Haven Hospice was held in June
2010 when staff cooked sold and ate home made cakes, fund of over
£120 were raised.
