Friends groups get together

26 Feb 2018

WE recently caught up with these fabulous ladies, who are "Friends of the Foundation" in Gordonvale, Innisfail and Mareeba for a workshop on their fundraising activities.
Fundraising groups in each of these communities are tireless workers to improve equipment available to patients and staff in those areas.
Thanks so much to Dr Sean McManus, who gave a fascinating presentation about ICU, as well as our chairman Dr Ken Chapman and Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service chairman Clive Skarott AM for joining us for a productive day.
