Staff at University Hospital Galway are set to benefit from a kind donation of €3,000 from the family of Milford man Mr John Diver.
Ms Carmel Diver and Mrs Agnes Diver recently presented a cheque for €3,000 to Ms Catherine Dowling, Consultant Urological Surgeon at University Hospital Galway in memory of their father and husband John Diver who had been a patient at the hospital under the care of Ms Dowling. Mr Diver sadly passed away in August 2017.
The money was raised through a charity clay pigeon shoot organised by Mulroy Clay Pigeon club in Milford; John founded and ran the club very successfully until he became ill.
John Diver was a well-known figure, both nationally and internationally in the world of clay pigeon shooting for many years.
The Diver family’s donation to UHG has been warmly welcomed. Ms Dowling commented, “We are very grateful to the Diver family for their kindness and generosity in acknowledging the care provided to their loved one here on St Pius Ward. The staff will use the funds to make improvements to the nurses’ staff room on the ward which will be a lasting legacy to the memory of Mr Diver”.
