Hospitals value healing and serenity, so staff at Western Private Hospital celebrated the just-gone Private Hospitals Week in the most appropriate way: sharing a chat over cups of tea.
Chief executive Vicki Canning said the Footscray hospital was proud of the care it provided the western suburbs community. “The health of our local community is our No.1 priority,” she said. “Our staff are the backbone of our hospital and demonstrate every day their commitment and passion in caring for patients. Private Hospitals Week is a chance to show our appreciation of our staff and the work they do.”
Cancer patient Sean Creagh has been attending the hospital for fortnightly chemotherapy sessions for three years.
“The care is excellent. It’s more of a social thing, I’ve seen other rooms hospitals do chemo in and it’s not very personal, it’s more clinical.”
