Buderim Private Hospital

Look at this beautiful reflection from one of the people supported by the Buderim Private Hospital Cindy Mackenzie Breast Cancer Program. "On behalf of my husband and I, we can’t thank the Cindy Mackenzie Breast Cancer Program enough for the compassion and support they showed during the hardest time of our lives. Cancer destroyed our world, our lives, and our business suffered from all the closures due to the many hospital trips and admissions. The team showed so much empathy in our time of need, not only by checking in on us on numerous occasions but also by alleviating the financial stress by offering assistance with shopping and fuel vouchers. We were overwhelmed with the service. We can’t commend the Cindy Mackenzie Breast Cancer Program enough! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!" S.M.

It's National Safe Work Month, a time employers and workers across Australia commit to creating safe and healthy workplaces. Here, Luke, our Health, Safety and Wellbeing Advisory Team Leader for UnitingCare Hospitals, shares his "safety why". 🤩 "My safety why is my family and friends and being able to go home to them safely every night. "There are number of reasons why I chose WHS as a profession, the biggest being my family. I come from a family of healthcare workers, from catering staff, orderlies, nurses, admin and management. "I have seen the toll the industry can take on its workers' bodies and minds and since I have worked in healthcare, I have seen some amazing people who put others' health before their own day in and day out. "I chose this profession to support those people and so they can go home to the people they love safely every day." Buderim Private Hospital is proudly part of the UnitingCare family. #NationalSafeWorkMonth #SafetyIsOurBusiness #BuderimPrivateHospital
