The Bacchus Marsh hospital will be able to upgrade some of its equipment, thanks to a large donation from the recent Easter Festival.
The festival has become a popular addition to the local calendar in recent years, and funds from the event go towards the hospital.
This year, the festival donated $13,560, a huge jump from $8200 which was donated last year.
One of the Easter Festival organisers, Dotty Hazell, said supporting the hospital just made sense.
“The decision to support the Urgent Care Department at Bacchus Marsh was an easy one, with the organisers all spending time there at some stage with family and/or friends … over the years,” Ms Hazell said.
