Each of Mildmay's 28 patient rooms contains a small fridge for personal use – a vital amenity for patient comfort and autonomy.

Replacing these fridges isn't a one-off event. Appliances like these, situated directly in patient rooms within a busy hospital environment, naturally experience considerable wear and tear. With a regular turnover of patients using the equipment day in and day out, and the need to maintain hygiene standards, these units routinely reach the end of their useful lifespan faster than domestic equivalents and require ongoing replacement. Funding these essential items helps us maintain a high standard of care and comfort for all our patients.

About healing

Modern hospital indoor environments aim at fulfilling the psychological needs and preferences of the people who use them. Nowadays, physical and non-physical healing environments are perceived as potential contributors to recovery processes. Unlike curing, healing relates to aspects of health that are psychological and spiritual. To support this, our patients rooms, while maintaining the highest of clinical standards, are also as comfortable as we can make them.
