70th Anniversary Gift to the Hospital

A Grand Opening event of the new Surgical Admissions Lounge for use by patients attending for vascular surgery took place, attended by the Lord Mayor, Lady Mayoress and Sheriff of Canterbury. K&C Hospital is now the centre of excellence for highly specialised vascular surgery for the whole of Kent. The League was delighted to fund the refurbishment of this £160k facility, providing a modern and comfortable environment for patients and staff, thanks to a generous £90k legacy from an ex-League of Friends Sturry group member, Margery Rowe, £50k from hospital shops' profits and £20k from Central funds.
