A big thank you to the Black Dog Institute for joining us at our Education Day and sharing their expertise in a session focused on mental health in the workplace.

Our staff had the opportunity to learn more about recognising stress and burnout, and practical ways to look after ourselves and support those around us.

Creating space for open conversations about mental health is an important part of building a healthy and supportive workplace. 💙

Recently, we gathered to celebrate the remarkable contribution of Ann Spillane, whose 45 years of dedicated service to the Friends of St Vincent’s volunteer group, including her time as President, have left an enduring legacy at St Vincent’s Hospital Lismore and throughout the wider Lismore community.

For more than four decades, Ann has been a driving force behind many of the hospital's most significant initiatives. Through her leadership, strong community connections and boundless energy, she transformed fundraising, building on an already large raffle program, delivering major, regular community events, including the Health Expo, Festival of Flowers and Music, the Hospital Fete and the Craft Group. Together, these initiatives raised significant funds for patient care, essential services and major equipment purchases, including the first laparoscopic surgical suite in regional Australia.

Her vision also helped bring to life the Friends Childcare Centre and the Friends Coffee Lounge, while leading the development of lasting spaces and initiatives across the hospital. These include the Plaque Memorial to Infants, Returned Services Memorial Flag Station and Garden, Friends Courtyard, Friends Courtesy Buggy and the renovation of the hospital chapel.

Ann also led the research, design and publication of " From the Archives", a hard-bound, full book capturing the history of the hospital through the lens of hospital staff and volunteers over the 100 years from 1921–2021.

Known for her kindness, humility and unwavering compassion, Ann has touched the lives of countless patients, families, staff and volunteers. Her legacy is woven into the fabric of St Vincent's Hospital Lismore and will continue to inspire generations to come.

Thank you, Ann for your extraordinary dedication, leadership and service.

Being in hospital is never easy. Whether your stay is planned or unexpected, it's normal to experience a range of emotions alongside your physical recovery. One of the hardest parts can be slowing down, accepting support and allowing yourself the time and space to heal.

Our Social Worker, Holly, has shared a few gentle reminders to help look after your wellbeing during your hospital stay.

💙 Be kind to yourself
Recovery takes time. Give yourself permission to rest and take things one day at a time.

💙 Ask questions
Understanding your care and treatment can help you feel more informed and confident. If you're unsure about anything, don't be afraid to ask your healthcare team.

💙 Talk about how you're feeling
It's okay to feel worried, overwhelmed or uncertain. Sharing how you're feeling with someone you trust or a member of your care team can help.

💙 Prioritise rest
Rest is an important part of healing. Give yourself the time and space to recover.

💙 Know support is available
You don't have to be struggling to speak with a Social Worker. Sometimes it simply helps to have someone to listen, answer your questions or talk things through. A Social Worker can provide emotional support and help connect you with services during and after your hospital stay.

If you'd like to speak with a Social Worker during your stay, simply let one of our staff members know and they can arrange a referral.

Remember, you don't have to navigate your hospital journey alone. Our care team is here to support you every step of the way.

It's Fun Scrubs Friday! 💙

The fun scrubs might bring a smile, but it's the people wearing them who make the biggest difference.

As we head into the weekend, we'd like to take a moment to thank our incredible team for their care, compassion and kindness. Whether caring for patients, supporting families or working behind the scenes, they make a difference to the lives of so many.

A special thank you to those who'll be caring for our patients over the weekend. Their commitment means our community continues to receive the care and support they need, and we truly appreciate everything they do.

Wishing everyone a safe, restful and enjoyable weekend.

Supporting local businesses is an important part of how we care for our community.

We're pleased to welcome Lismore's Butcher's Selection as our new meat supplier.
As a 100% family-owned business, they're helping our kitchen team continue preparing fresh, quality meals for our patients, visitors and staff.

We'd also like to extend our sincere thanks to Dalley Street Butchery for their valued support over the years. We appreciate everything they've done for our hospital and wish them all the very best following the closure of their business.

By choosing local suppliers, we're supporting local families, local jobs and the community we proudly serve, while continuing to deliver the quality care our patients know and trust.

A huge thank you to the Connect Northern Rivers Careers Expo team for hosting another fantastic event yesterday. We were grateful for the opportunity to connect with students, job seekers and members of our community, and to share the many rewarding career opportunities available across the St Vincent's Lismore Campus.

Many of our conversations focused on entry-level positions that don't require prior qualifications, including roles in catering, housekeeping, Operating Theatre Assistant and Wardsperson. We also shared information about opportunities in our Early Learning Centre, as well as the different pathways to becoming a nurse, including opportunities within St Joseph's Aged Care Facility for those with aged care qualifications.

Our campus offers a wide range of rewarding career opportunities, with pathways for people at every stage of their career.

We look forward to supporting the next generation of healthcare professionals and helping more people discover the many rewarding career opportunities available across the St Vincent's Lismore Campus.
