Children's Emergency Department Project
Fundraising for the Children's Emergency Department.
Palmerston North, Manawatu-Wanganui
The Palmerston North Hospital Foundation is fundraising to create a dedicated space for children within the Emergency Department at Palmerston North Regional Hospital. The ‘Children’s ED’ will provide a child-friendly, whānau-focused area, separate from the general Emergency Department.
This separate area will feature four additional cubicles, a treatment room, a separate waiting area with a TV and kitchenette, child-friendly furniture and toys, catering to various needs and developmental stages, disabilities, illnesses and injuries. This is super important for the physical and psychological needs of our tamariki, plus will help keep them calm and away from the sometimes-scary general ED.
Our goal is to have builders in there by Christmas and the facility open and ready for use in the first half of 2024. However, we need further support to reach this milestone. That’s why we’re encouraging our community to come together and support this worthwhile cause.

Wow, almost $20K raised - thank you so much! 16 January 2024
Thank you to each and every one of you for donating to the Palmerston North Hospital Foundation, supporting our Children’s Emergency Department project. We have been blown away by the community response so far - thank you.
The phenomenal support from the community meant time could be spent over the festive season prepping for construction. While we’re still actively fundraising to get this project fully funded, we are on track to get construction underway very soon.
The hospital team is busy finalising the last of the paperwork then it will be all go, as we look to have the Children’s Emergency Department open and ready for use in the first half of this year.
If you’d like to fundraise for us, we have a fundraising kit available on our website. Mufti days, raffles, bake sales - it all makes a difference!
