AN elderly woman and hospital volunteer is set to celebrate her birthday by taking on a 49-mile challenge down Southend Pier. May Hamilton, who will turn 82 in June, is set to walk up and down Southend Pier 20 times to clock up the miles as she raises money for three hospital charities and Mid and South Essex Hospitals charity. The inspirational lady is also a volunteer driver at Southend hospital. May said: “I’m walking the equivalent distance between Southend Hospital, Northwick Park Hospital and St Mark’s Hospital, as these are the three hospitals that have helped me throughout my life and I wanted to give something back to say thank you.”
The Cedar Ward at Basildon Hospital has completed its refurbishment which began at the start of February. The works lasted eight weeks and saw the facilities for the expecting mums improved including beds and medical equipment. The antenatal and postnatal wards of the hospital were moved to a different location while the work was carried out. The new facilities were visited by Diane Sarkar, chief nursing officer for the Mid and South Essex Hospitals Trust. She said: “It was fabulous to see staff excited to be welcoming women into the refurbished Cedar ward in maternity on Monday. “It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm and positivity from the team, thank you to all for making this happen for our women.”
