Behind the Scenes at the San
We recently had the pleasure of welcoming supporters to the San for one of our exclusive Behind the Scenes Hospital Tours, a unique opportunity to step inside the hospital and experience firsthand the impact of philanthropy in action.
Guests were guided through a range of hospital areas, gaining insight into the incredible work of our dedicated teams and the compassionate care delivered to patients every day. The tour offered a rare glimpse into the people, programs, and services that help make the San such a special place for our community.
These experiences are a powerful reminder that behind every donation is a real and lasting impact, supporting innovation, enhancing patient care, and helping ensure families receive the very best treatment and support when they need it most.
We are grateful to everyone who joined us and shared in this meaningful experience. With several upcoming tour dates available and places strictly limited, we warmly invite those interested to register and discover the difference their support makes throughout the hospital each day.
To join an upcoming Behind the Scenes Hospital Tour, simply scan the QR code to register your interest or speak with our Donor Relations Manager, Michelle Shimakage on (02) 9487 9405 or email Michelle.Shimakage@sah.org.au.
Celebrating Community at the Teddy Bears Picnic
A beautiful sense of community filled the air at this year’s Teddy Bears Picnic, as families, friends, and our cherished San Babies community came together for a day of connection, laughter, and celebration.
The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and special moments as families enjoyed time together and celebrated the bonds that make our community so unique.
Events like these are a wonderful reminder of the strength of community and the lasting connections formed through the San.
