Tribute paid to volunteers

21 Feb 2017

INTERNATIONAL Volunteers Day was an apt occasion to share some shots of our hospital volunteers at our annual Christmas celebration and awards ceremony.

Special congratulations to Thelma Bryan and Maud Way, who celebrated 25 years of volunteering at the Cairns Hospital.

Thanks to our board chairman Dr Ken Chapman and board member Steve Russell for helping pay tribute to these special people.

You might also note our cheeky commercial operations manager Steve McGuinness photobombed a couple of shots! New Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service chief executive Clare Douglas also attended.
