Chimera Legacy Foundation Ltd
Chimera Legacy Foundation Ltd is an Australian nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the inpatient healthcare experience for patients undergoing life-saving treatments. Established in 2019, the foundation centers its work on developing and supporting new care models that integrate innovative technologies to improve mental wellbeing during hospital stays.
Mission and Activities
The foundation’s mission is to empower transplant patients and other inpatients by addressing the psychological stress associated with hospitalization. It achieves this by collaborating directly with patients and healthcare professionals to deliver programs that leverage patient experiences to improve care. A key element of their approach includes the deployment of virtual reality (VR) therapies designed to support mental health and wellbeing in clinical settings.
History and Founding
Chimera Legacy Foundation was founded by Damien Thompson, a recipient of treatment including leukemia care, bone marrow and double lung transplants. Drawing from his personal journey with multiple serious health conditions and his positive experience with VR therapy during treatment, Thompson established the foundation to provide similar support to other patients facing complex medical challenges.
Leadership and Team
The foundation is led by a team with diverse expertise in healthcare, finance, and patient advocacy:
- Damien Thompson, Founding Director, is a leukemia survivor and transplant recipient who drives the foundation’s patient-focused vision.
- Blair McMillan, Director and CFO, brings professional experience from finance roles across pharmaceutical and software industries.
- Bill Petch, CEO, advocates for healthcare reform and personalized medicine, with a background in establishing genomic trials and developing social impact health programs.
Partnerships and Impact
Chimera Legacy Foundation collaborates with healthcare providers and hospital staff to integrate VR therapies into patient care routines. These therapies aim to mitigate stress and improve the overall hospital experience, enhancing recovery conditions for patients receiving critical treatments.
The Chimera Legacy Foundation reflects a patient-centered approach to healthcare innovation, blending technology and personal experience to transform the supportive care environment for transplant and other seriously ill patients in Australia.
