Therapeutic Pillow Blog > Community > 200 Reasons to Smile – Supporting Westmead Hospital Patients

We've got some heart-warming news to share from the Westmead Hospital Foundation.

We strongly believe that small comforts can make a huge difference in someone's day. That's why when we heard about the incredible work happening at Westmead Hospital Foundation, particularly with cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, we knew we wanted to help out.

We recently donated 200 of our heat packs to Westmead Hospital Foundation for patients going through chemotherapy treatment. When using a heat pack, you know just how soothing they can be for sore muscles and general discomfort. Now imagine dealing with the often intense side effects of chemo – those same heat packs become so much more than just a warm hug for your body.

These simple yet effective tools help ease muscle tension, reduce discomfort, and improve circulation during and after treatment. Sometimes it's the little things that can make an unbearable situation just a bit more manageable.

30 Years of Healing: The Westmead Hospital Foundation Story

You might not know this (we didn't until recently!), but Westmead Hospital Foundation has been supporting healthcare in Western Sydney for over 30 years. About five years ago, they became specifically focused on Westmead Hospital.

Their mission is pretty awesome: they support and advocate for Westmead Hospital's efforts to provide even better healthcare and medical research to the Greater Western Sydney community. They're constantly raising funds for clinical services, state-of-the-art equipment, new technology, and staff and patient care.

Why Heat Packs?

When the foundation reached out to us, they explained how chemotherapy can be an incredibly challenging experience, often causing discomfort, muscle tension, and body aches for patients. We thought our heat packs would offer a simple yet effective way to provide some relief.

As one of the nurses told us, "Sometimes it's the simplest comfort that makes the biggest difference in a patient's day."

Community Values in Action

At Therapeutic Pillow Australia, comfort is the foundation of everything we stand for. We specialise in sleep and relaxation, yes, but our ultimate goal has always been helping people sleep and feel better.

That's why partnering with Westmead Hospital Foundation felt so natural. The incredible healthcare professionals there pour themselves into caring for patients during their most challenging days. Contributing even a small comfort to both patients and these healthcare heroes? - It’s a meaningful way to make a difference.

Supporting Westmead Hospital Patients

Inspired to create your own ripple of comfort? The Westmead Hospital Foundation welcomes support in all forms - financial contributions, volunteer hours, or simply spreading the word about their life-changing work. Every little bit helps – whether it's a donation, or simply spreading the word about the amazing work they do.

Here's to comfort, care, and community – three things we believe everyone deserves!
