RACHEL PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan): Two weeks ago, one of my members of staff fell very ill. In uncertainty and distress a beacon of hope and healing emerged through the dedicated efforts of the healthcare team at Frankston Hospital.
Throughout the week that my staff member was under their care every interaction exuded empathy, professionalism and absolute competence. The nurses and medical professionals not only attended to her physical needs but also nurtured her with kindness and respect. Their commitment to excellence and tireless dedication made it possible for her to recover.
My staff member now stands on the threshold of renewed health and wellbeing. Her heart overflows with profound appreciation. The gratitude she expresses is testament to the profound impact of the exceptional care that was received at Frankston Hospital. I extend my sincere thanks to the healthcare team for their unwavering commitment to healing and humanity.
This experience serves as a poignant reminder of the invaluable privilege we all share: the privilege of accessible health care in moments of crisis. The depth of gratitude expressed by my staff member and me serves as a tribute to the remarkable care provided by the healthcare team at Frankston Hospital.
To the healthcare team at Frankston Hospital, I am so grateful to you for looking after my staff member, who is a dedicated and much-loved member of my team – thank you.
