What a nice surprise! Staff arriving for work at the George Hospital couldn’t believe their luck when presented with a cup of hot chocolate at the gate.

An unexpected cup of hot chocolate on your way to work or to see the doctor! This is what awaited patients and staff at the George hospital on Mandela Day (18 July) when GO GEORGE staff members gave 67 minutes of their private time and own ingredients to surprise them with an aromatic cup of hot chocolate, coffee or tea. 

Acknowledging the hospital staff for their service to the community of George and surrounds was one of the activities undertaken by GO GEORGE staff. They also contributed towards the soup initiative co-ordinated by the George Business Chamber.

End of shift or beginning of the working day – all the recipients were most grateful for the hot drink on a very cold and foggy morning.
