Send a hug to someone you love in hospital by purchasing
a Western Health Best Care Bear.
It's times like these where we could all use a hug, but due to social distancing and visitor restrictions to keep patients safe, your loved ones may not be getting the hugs they need, but we have a solution!
Our teddies, equipped with their Western Health scrubs, are ready to join the team on the frontline and take care of your loved ones. Their mission is to ensure your loved ones get all the hugs they are missing from you.
Simply choose which teddy you would like delivered to your loved one staying in either our Footscray or Sunshine Hospitals (including Joan Kirner Women and Childrens).
Let us know which ward we can find them in, write a message for us to include on their gift tag and we will deliver it directly to them on your behalf.*

Celebrating the arrival of a new baby?
A Western Health Care Bear is the perfect choice for a baby's first teddy. Our baby pack includes a teddy, a baby blanket and either a baby beanie or booties. The blanket, booties and beanies are all lovingly hand crafted by our Western Health volunteers.
All proceeds from teddy bears and baby packs will support patient care at Western Health.
NOTE:
- Deliveries are made daily, Monday to Friday. Finalise your purchase by 2pm on a weekday to guarantee same day delivery.
