Help families bring home the most precious gift this Christmas

Every parent deserves to experience the joy that comes from giving birth to a healthy baby. For too many parents, the first weeks — and in some cases months — of their baby’s life are fraught because of illness or prematurity.

By making a gift to the Mercy Health Foundation Christmas Appeal, you will be supporting Mercy Perinatal — a three-pillar centre of excellence in clinical care, education and research based at the Mercy Hospital for Women in Melbourne. At the heart of Mercy Perinatal is a commitment to bringing mothers and their babies safely home. Your donation will help them to do just that.

Help families bring home the most precious gift this Christmas.

Please donate online today at mercyhealthfoundation.org.au or call the Mercy Health Foundation team on 03 8416 7766.
