Marion has been at Flinders Medical Centre since the day it opened in 1976. Recently, she celebrated her 90th birthday with the Women’s Health Clinic team.
“They hired me for a 3-month trial, but I said I’d be here forever,” says Marion.
Marion worked as Office Manager in Intensive Care for 26 years until she retired to help an injured family member. However, it wasn't long before she came back to Southern Adelaide Local Health Network - SALHN as a volunteer.
“I love the work and I get satisfaction from sorting things out,” Marion said.
“I always look forward to Thursdays when I come in.”
Acting Midwife Unit Manager Melissa says the Women’s Health Service is a better place thanks to Marion.
“We’re so grateful for all the work she does, sorting out all our photocopy, bringing smiles and sharing her expertise,” says Melissa.
“We don’t know what we’d do without her.”
Happy Birthday Marion, and thank you for your service. 💙
