The Boards of the  Children's Health Foundation Queensland and Royal Children's Hospital Foundation have agreed to create a single, new Children's Health Foundation Queensland that will preserve the structure of the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation - including staff and volunteers, - while also taking on a broader perspective across children's health state-wide.

 

Proceeds raised by the Foundation will be used to fund medical research, new equipment and facilities that are not an ordinary component of a hospital to support sick children and their families throughout the state.

 

Mr Bruce Cowley, who was Chair of the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, has been appointed Chair of the new Children's Health Foundation Queensland.
