A Message from Glangwili Hospital Resuscitation Department
The Resuscitation department at Glangwili Hospital has sent us this message regarding a contribution of £10,850 by the League of Friends that has been used to purchase resuscitation equipment:
We would like to thank the League of Friends for its kind contribution to the purchase of the valuable resuscitation equipment.
The equipment is in constant use and is fundamental to the development of our nursing and medical teams in managing acutely unwell patients. The benefit of this equipment to patients not only in the hospital environment but also in the community is down to the League of Friends and is very much appreciated.

Donation in memory of the late Kathie Dubben
It was overwhelming to be informed that the late Kathie Dubben had arranged that donations in her memory are to be offered to Chaplaincy with the specific wish that the monies were to be used for the ‘Loved and Lost Baby Service’.
Kathie was supportive as a parent who had lost a beloved daughter whom she continued to remember and treasure.
I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the donations of £455.00. This is an invaluable contribution to supporting the service of all who are affected by the death of a baby whether before or after birth.
This donation will help the Department to continue to walk with those who continue the pain of separation and whose babies are too precious to forget, and that this service will continue to offer compassion and hope in a safe space.
Once again, thank you Kathie and her family and friends for your kindness and generosity. The next service is held at Bethel Church, Picton Terrace, Carmarthen, SA31 1BT on Saturday 27th April, 2024 at midday
With deepest appreciation,
Euryl, Senior Chaplain, Hywel Dda Health Board.
