Dandenong Hospital has opened a new Monash Children’s playground.

The launch party included patients, donors, Monash Children’s staff and entertainers, including Zodo the Clown, Tall Ted and an ‘Elvis.’

‘The launch was very much about fun for the children who will benefit from having the new outdoor playground attached to the Monash Children’s Play Education room,’ Dandenong Hospital’s Director of Nursing Jane Poxon said.

The project was funded by local businesses and supporters of Southern Health.
