Introductions to local venues and attractions
We always do our best to arrange memorable experiences for patients and families to enjoy. These may be at the AYAH or external to the facility depending on the circumstance. External experiences can be facilitated, however we ask that patients and families arrange their own care or support person when enjoying activities outside of the AYAH. Experiences can include tickets to music, sporting or arts events or meet and greets at the AYAH or elsewhere. Please share your ideas and wish list items with the AYAH Community Partnerships Manager. There are no guarantees that we can fulfill all requests, however we will always do our best. See some patient and family experiences on the next slides.
