Every member of the Collinsville, Bowen and Proserpine hospital team received an Australia Day Mayoral Award to acknowledge their dedicated service throughout the unprecedented challenges of the COVID pandemic.
Mayor Andrew Willcox took the time to recognise healthcare workers for ensuring the community had access to excellent health care while working in difficult circumstances, commending staff for their dedication that has ensured services continued in extreme circumstances.
Nurse Unit Manager Lisa Milne and Medical Superintendent Dr Shaun Grimes accepted the award on behalf of the hospital staff, congratulating everyone for their efforts.
“What an amazing family of superheroes you all are. Day after day you show up smiling and committed to serve our community,” Dr Grimes said.
“Thank you to you all, for the roles each of you has played in getting us through these last two years and will continue to play in the coming years.”
He also acknowledged how deeply he appreciated receiving a thank you from the Mayor, and passed the sentiment onto the rest of the team.
“A thank you given freely and with sincerity means so much – it’s free to give but its value should never be underestimated - share your thanks and your masked smile,” he said.
“Every day we are thankful to each and every one of you for your commitment to service and for your commitment to each other as one health service family.
“One day soon we will again be able to share a barbecue lunch and celebrate with each other!”
“What an amazing family of superheroes you all are. Day after day you show up smiling and committed to serve our community,” – Shaun Grimes
