Joyce Powell (third right) is all smiles after presenting two mobile blood pressure units valued at over $140,000 to the Percy Junor Hospital in north east Manchester on behalf of her family members which includes well-known American actress Victoria Rowell from the television series, the Young and the Restless. The donation was made on Tuesday, January 30 in memory of Jane & Cyril Rose, Emma and Alfred Rose, and Jane and Williams Graveney. Funds were raised to purchase the machines at a family reunion in December after the family learnt of the hospital's needs.
They are imploring other families to support hospitals in meeting their demands and providing quality health-care to citizens.
