Spring Day celebrations
The celebration coincided with Casual Day a project which supports persons with disabilities.
THE staff of McCord Hospital added a touch of spring colour to Spring Day which was celebrated in conjunction with Casual Day. Hospital staff wore civvies on the day as part of their support for a project for persons with disabilities. This is a project staff have supported for many years.
Casual Day has become a firm favourite on the calendar of many of South Africa’s businesses, with some corporate sponsoring stickers for their entire staff complement as a corporate social investment initiative. Approximately 4 500 companies, 100 schools and 400 organizations rendering services to persons with disabilities participate in Casual Day.
Zodwa Mbatha, Public Relations Officer at the Hospital said, “The clinic nurse also had a health talk in the morning for patients on the importance of drinking at least 7-8 glasses of water every day in summer. All patients in the clinic were given bottled water.”
