Through a generous donation made in loving memory of Chua Hock Tat and Lee Pui King, ‘The Recharge Hub’ in NHCS Ward 47B has been transformed into a welcoming rest haven for our hardworking healthcare team. This renovation is supported by the NHCS Staff Wellness Programme, which aims to create a more nurturing and supportive workplace where staff can thrive, rest and recharge. 

What was once a converted storeroom during the COVID-19 pandemic has been thoughtfully redesigned into a well-equipped and eco-friendly rest area. The upgraded space features dedicated dining and storage facilities, complete with new amenities and sustainable design elements, such as modular and movable furniture and energy-efficient blackout blinds—making it a more conducive environment for staff to unwind and recharge. For the healthcare staff working tirelessly in this high-volume inpatient ward, these improvements have made a significant difference in their daily work life.

"As a nurse working long shifts, this newly renovated rest area means so much to us,” shares Senior Staff Nurse Ms Parames D/O Manohar. “Having a proper space to rest and refresh ourselves helps us recharge during our shifts and makes a real difference to our daily work life. The thoughtful improvements help us maintain our energy levels, enabling us to provide better care for our patients." 

The impact of this gift extends beyond physical comfort. “The donor’s kindness speaks volumes – it reminds our nurses that their wellbeing matters too. The space has given us a moment to breathe, recharge and feel valued,” shared Nurse Clinician Angelina Lee.

"My colleagues and I are incredibly touched by this generous gesture," Senior Staff Nurse Franendes Friendee Lajanim adds. “Thank you for creating such a wonderful and comfortable environment for us to rest and have our meals."
