Daylesford Health has recently received a $186,000 gift from a past patient who left the funds to the hospital in their will.

The impact of their legacy will be long-lasting on the local community as it will assist Central Highlands Rural Health to continue improving services and planning upgrades for the facilities on Hospital Street, Daylesford.

Gifts in wills are incredibly valuable to health services as they are an investment into the future of healthcare for generations to come.

Support for Daylesford Health has also been received recently from local artist Adele Perry who is donating her artwork for auction; Daylesford Bowling Club who gave its monthly meat raffle proceeds to its local health service, and Daylesford Highland Gathering committee which gave a generous $10,000 to aged care residents at Lumeah Lodge.

As a journo of some years, let’s say 40, I have a love for words. I also like that language is always evolving. So it is always interesting to hear what the word of the year is, especially from the Australian Macquarie Dictionary.
