Prominent Nambour lawyer Peter Boyce has thrown his support behind health foundation Wishlist’s drive to raise $2 million by 2022 for their major project, Wishlist Centre.

Through his Nambour-based business, Butler McDermott Lawyers, Mr Boyce has donated $25,000 to become a Haven Room Donor – equivalent to 1,250 Virtual Bricks.

Wishlist Centre will be Australia’s first facility to offer affordable patient accommodation, primary healthcare and complementary therapies under one roof, and is currently under construction opposite the Sunshine Coast University Hospital (SCUH).

“Wishlist recently launched their Donate a Virtual Brick appeal which we can all get behind with each virtual brick costing just $20,” Mr Boyce said.

“Wishlist’s existing accommodation Reed House and Wishlist House is seeing increased occupancy rates, especially with rural and remote patients needing to travel to SCUH for medical treatment.

“The need for this type of centre in close proximity to the hospital is essential and I think it’s a privilege to be able to contribute to our community.”
