On Friday 20 September Noosa Hospital celebrated its 20th birthday with a cocktail party at the RACV resort.
The cocktail party was well attended by staff.
Also attending was Sandy Bolton and Ramsay Health Care national CEO Danny Sims, who both addressed the crowd.
Entertainment was kindly provided by Skyfall with a spectacular laser display.
A special feature of the night was the announcement of the Noosa Hospital Employee of the Year, which went to Mel Diggle.
Nominees for the title were taken from Employees of the Month from July 2018 to June 2019.
Mel’s manager described her thus:
“Mel goes above and beyond for her patients. She has been instrumental in the development of the Breast Care Nursing service – with a lot of work done in her own time to get it off the ground and make it a success. She is a great role model and provides an excellent resource for student and novice nurses on G Pavilion. She sets her expectations and by example delivers quality care. Mel is the nurse others aspire to be.”
Ramsay Health also took the opportunity to celebrate the staff, volunteers and visiting medical officers who have worked at Noosa Hospital for the past 20 years.
It is testament to the hospital that it still has so many people here who have been there from the very start.
