Great coffee, great company and even better conversations! ☕💜

Our My Hospital Foundation team is always up for anything that involves coffee, especially when it means getting out and connecting with our wonderful local business community!

It was lovely to join the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce B2B breakfast and wrap up Indigenous Business Month.

We’re so lucky to be part of a community that genuinely values connection, collaboration and supporting one another. It’s these relationships that make such a difference to what we do at My Hospital Foundation.

A big thank you to the Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce, Marabisda and Daly Bay for a great morning!
