Two Wellness Walkways opened at Portiuncula Hospital

Two new wellness walkways have been opened at Portiuncula University Hospital.

The Garbally and Orchard wards will be linked by the walkways, which are designed to support patients during recovery from illness and injury.

Each walkway has stations that offer physical and cognitive exercises, that encourage gentle movement and mental stimulation.

Maura O Connell, Divisional Nurse Manager at the Hospital, says the walkways help to prevent falls in recovering patients.
