Room dedicated Marie Keating opens Cavan General. A very special day for the Keating Family as the Marie Keating Foundation; together with the specialist nursing team on the ICU unit of Cavan General Hospital; launched the newly renovated Marie Keating ICU Family Room on September 30th, 2024.
This would not have happened without the amazing support of sponsors: Harvey Norman and the Elliot Group. Indeed, along with Yvonne Fenton's beautiful design.
This room provides much needed comfort and privacy where someone hearing difficult news, awaiting news of a loved one or requiring a quiet private space to rest overnight can have that valuable time they need.
Everyone needs shelter in a storm and for anyone who has had difficult news or has had to wait in a corridor, crowded waiting room or travelled long distances while a loved one is facing a harrowing journey will recognise the value of this space.
Cavan has a huge place in the hearts of the Keating Family, especially their Mam Marie having lived there for a time. Director of Nursing at the Marie Keating Foundation, Helen Forristal has been speaking to Ronan Gargan.
