Your kindness today can make a diff erence for

patients tomorrow

Everybody has been amazing. I hear so many people saying good things about being treated here. I’d always wanted to live by the sea, but now, no way. I want to live near Addenbrooke’s – the top hospital in the world.Debbie Brown, who has become a staunch advocate for Addenbrooke’s since her treatment for aggressive follicular lymphoma.

Whether it’s treatment for an emergency, acute condition, pregnancy or long term illness, we believe that every patient deserves the highest quality of care available.

Whatever brings you, your family and friends to Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie hospitals, it is a great comfort to know that the best care is at hand when it really counts.

Patients often say how lucky they feel to have excellent hospitals on their doorstep. But resources are always under pressure, which is why every extra penny raised from charitable donations makes a signifi cant diff erence for patients.

Play a part

Both Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie were founded as a result of generous gifts and we’re fortunate that charitable giving has helped to keep your hospitals at the forefront of outstanding patient care.

Did you know, for instance, that a broad range of additional equipment and services across the hospitals are funded by donations? They include diagnostic scanners, cardiac monitors, intensive care equipment, music therapy and research into a wide range of medical conditions, to name just a few.

With your help we can continue to support innovation and excellence in health and care, as well as day to day patient comforts, beyond that which NHS funding alone can aff ord. Will you make a diff erence today?

With so many ways to get involved, it’s never been easier to help your hospitals and give more patients access to the best care.
