Special Care Baby Unit gets Tree Hutt Scrubs

The Special Care Baby Unit at the Hutt Hospital now have Tree Hutt scrub tops for their staff. These Tree Hutt scrubs are the same as the ones in the Emergency Department based on the principle of distraction therapy. Instead of the normal medical uniform, staff can elect to use the ones from the Tree Hutt that  take the child’s mind off any procedure by concentrating on something else that is more friendly and is a pleasing sensory stimuli .

The Tree Hutt scrub tops were made possible through a grant from the Infinity Foundation Limited.

Trust is winding down

The Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust (HHFT) was formed in 1993 in response to the potential closure of Hutt Hospital. Since then – with support from the Hutt community - we have supported the hospital, raising funds for equipment, nurse development and patient comfort.

The Trust is now winding down due to the regionalisation of hospital support services through the Wellington Hospitals Foundation. Its substantial fund-raising capabilities will greatly benefit the Hutt.

Any accumulated funds and resources upon cessation of the Hutt Hospital Foundation Trust will be handed over to the Wellington Hospitals Foundation for its continued work on behalf of patients and their families in our area.
