Healthcare workers and patients unite in Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations
The healthcare workers of psychiatry at Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital recently joined the Hospital Authority Chinese Orchestra to host a concert titled “Melodious Tunes to Welcome Mid-Autumn” within the hospital. Traditional Chinese music followed by a saxophone performance brought a harmonious blend of East and West, delivering festive blessings to mental health recovery patients and their carers.
Cheshire Home, Shatin, also organised a celebration gathering for long-stay residents and their families ahead of the festival. The venue was decorated with lanterns as well as moon and rabbit motifs. The healthcare workers and volunteers presented patients with seasonal fruits, while specially prepared soft mooncakes were individually fed to patients with swallowing difficulties.
Patient volunteers at Tuen Mun Hospital crafted hundreds of delicate snow-skin mooncake ornaments which served as a token of care to patients and visitors, offering the experience of festive joy even within hospital walls. Through these little gifts, the hospital wishes to foster a vibrant festive atmosphere throughout the hospital.
The Hospital Authority wishes members of the public a joyful Mid-Autumn Festival, and all patients a speedy recovery.
