Bloomhill celebrates opening of new Therapy Centre

Bloomhill Cancer Help will enter an exciting new phase on Thursday, 2 August, celebrating the official grand opening of its new Therapy Centre.
To mark the special event, Bloomhill will host a high tea at the new Centre, 58 Ballinger Road, Buderim at 2pm with special guest, The Federal Minister for Health, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP who played an important role in securing the grant money for the extension.
Bloomhill President, Jenny Carroll said the new Therapy Centre includes five new therapy rooms, state-of the art kitchen, additional office space and a beautiful, big recreation room.
“The new space is absolutely amazing. Our staff and clients are truly lucky to have access to such an amazing facility,” Jenny said.
“The opening event is a great opportunity to thank all those who helped Bloomhill through the grant and renovation process,” Jenny said.
In June 2011, Bloomhill received a $500,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Australia to support the health needs of regional communities thanks to the support received from the Federal Minister for Health, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP.
Bloomhill President, Jenny Carroll said the new Therapy Centre means people diagnosed with cancer and their families from across the Sunshine Coast region will have better access to services and support.
“Bloomhill services more than 900 clients and we are constantly growing in numbers,” Jenny said.
“It is a truly unique service, focusing on quality of life and walking clients through every stage of the disease,” Jenny said.
