The Apt Hospital became part of my life in 2014 when the Therapeutique Garden at ‘Les Trois Cypres’ was inaugurated. I donated to this Garden in memory of my husband who was a patient at the Hospital in 2013. When I was invited to become a founder member of the Donation Fund for the Apt Hospital, I accepted without hesitation. This dynamic and visionary project of benefit to Luberon residents of all ages, will enable the best possible care for patients, for hospital staff, and in particular for its excellent medical team.

Marc DUMAS, former president and one of the founders of the ‘Alps of Light’ publishing house, teacher and writer in Provençal and French – Apt
I have had a house in Apt for 20 years and now live with my husband year -in Rustrel ; the decision to live here permanently was an easy one to make after many years of international working life. I am pleased and indeed proud to be involved in a project which will result in a modern hospital, offering a wide range of services to people in the Luberon. All of us, locals and expatriates, will benefit.
Shelagh LESTER-SMITH/TIMPERLEY – Rustrel
As a resident in the Luberon for many years now, it is essential for my family and me to know that there are professional emergency and short term care facilities close at hand. The fundraising programme for Apt hospital therefore has our wholehearted support.

Community Connections
These are the representatives of the Fund in the 25 communes surrounding Apt. They form the link between local groups and associations, trades people, the population at large and the Fund management team.
Getting involved to improve the life of patients in our local hospital seems to me to be both essential and important. Living in Bonnieux one gets a strong sense of the historic and cultural ties of the village, and it seemed only normal to serve as the local link to the Campaign. The hospital Fund demonstrates that the efforts of individuals and the private sector can be a real boost to a cause, and I hope itwill be a resounding success.
