Mark Terry and Neil Lucas from St John of God Foundation were really passionate talking about the 150 million project which include the new hospital with the new comprehensive Cancer and Cardiac Centre and the redevelopment of the Gibb Street Campus.

The new hospital will include 210 beds, 6 theatres, two cardiac/vascular catheter laboratory, six birthing suits and also stablishing and expanding the Cancer Centre.

The specialised Cancer Centre includes 20 chair chemotherapy unit, 5 consulting suits for specialist oncologists and haematologists, radiology, compounding pharmacy and radiotherapy which means that everything is within the one centre and close by patients.

St John of God Berwick hospital has been provided community care for over 75 years. It was originally known as “Berwick and District Bush Nursing Hospital”. It will be able to provide service closer to home to Casey and Cardinia population expanded rapidly and also the surrounding areas such as Baw Baw and Gippsland. 

Isobel was away and obviously not in a position to write this week’s bulletin. She is (from what I have heard) under a coconut palm with a cocktail in one hand and our handsome President in the other, the waves gently splashing at her toes as the sun lightly dances on the sea.

 

I nominated Diana to report on the current meeting knowing that she is a very capable person. Talk about taking the bull by the horns and giving it a good shake! Diana did an excellent job, but she also went so much further with some extra ideas that could be implemented at a later date. They basically revolve around our complete lack of understanding of Polish and our rather poor effort to participate in all things foreign. I know myself there is a delay (rather long in my case) between hearing and comprehending by which time the fine is over.

 

So thankyou Diana for giving your all. If you are reading this, let Diana know she is a great asset to our Club.
