Galway Hospice was recently chosen as Covidien’s nominated charity to receive a donation of €2,500 in support of the Hospice’s work in the community. The staff of Covidien (which is located in Mervue, Galway) have been hugely supportive of Galway Hospice over the years and have organised many fundraising events to support Galway Hospice. Our thanks go to all of the staff, and especially to Theresa Melia for her untiring work over the years as a promoter and fundraiser for Galway Hospice.
