Public and Private health systems can both incur out-of-pocket expenses related to cancer care. This we support the great work of the Cancer Council Australia in providing financial relief to patients and families accessing care services.

Our multi-talented ward-lord Rob Greenlaw has won the Open Photography division of Lismore Diocese’s Jubilee Art Prize.

Bishop Greg Homeming expressed his admiration for the creativity and depth of meaning in the artworks.

“I have been very impressed with the standard of artwork and the way it has reflected the hope and faith of our community,” Bishop Greg said.

Indeed, the competition allowed artists to respond creatively to the Jubilee’s theme of Hope.

Rob, who in addition to being a talented photographer and musician, is a wardsperson here at St Vincent’s, lending a compassionate and friendly hand to patients, their families and staff.

Rob’s spectacular photo is titled ‘Circles of Life’, and on closer inspection reveals a window into the wonder of creation.

Congratulations Robbie! We will be looking forward to seeing some of your art on the hospital walls in the near future! 📷📷😁😁😁

A little throwback mid last year, our very own Director of Mission, Joe Pereira dropped in to the ABC North Coast studios to talk about the wonderful history of St Vincent's Hospital Lismore, and its deep connection with the people of the Northern Rivers community. Turns out Joe is a dab-hand in the radio game, and has quite a suave radio voice! Thanks for the chat Bridie Tanner .

What a pleasure it was to have a visit from Mike Ewing, Exec Dean of Business & Law at Southern Cross University today. Mike has only recently been in for knee scans, so we had more than one topic to cover in our catch up! Mike's team in the Business & Law faculty do a great job curating highly regarded grad and post-grad courses, they also work hard lining up internships for students to gain industry experience.
This supports people from our community to flourish in their professions both here and abroad, and we are all for it! We have to give a special mention to the SCU Nursing faculty for the great work they do, and the close relationship we have enjoyed over the years. Great to meet you Mike.

Don't let the disarming smile fool you folks, most recent member of St Vincent's famed maintenance team, Ben, has been there done that.
At age 17 he left Alstonville for the armed forces, becoming an aircraft technician in Townsville. Moved down to the city to work in car and bike sales but wasn't inclined to sell customers something that wasn't right them, even if it meant sending them elsewhere. That's integrity. From there Ben ran a dealership workshop for a few years and became a qualified auto mechanic.
Looking for a change he moved back to the northern rivers and jumped on board with a local chippy and is in the final stages of a carpentry ticket as well.
Finding all of his jobs have specialised in one area, Ben admits "I do get bored easily, and that's always been my drama" 😅. His favourite thing about hospital maintenance is that there's "a good mixture of everything, whether it might be general mechanics, a bit of chippy work, literally anything and everything, which I love."
Ben's had a bit to do with other hospitals but has fit right in at SVH. "Everything seems a bit more personal here. So everyone, staff, patients... generally open up a bit more. They chat more, you get to know people more. Everyone here tends to slow down a bit, they have that extra time for you."
He says "a lot of the oldies in the nursing home...they'll always tell you stories from back when ... little things like that make the big difference working here. You can get to know people and form some kind of relationship with everyone."
A jack of all trades who's quick to laugh, if you see Ben around the grounds be sure to say g'day. Just don't get him started on cars or bikes, it won't be a quick chat!

Job done! After two years and a significant investment, we are finally cutting the ribbon on our 'lighter and brighter' new look patient wards. With the finishing touches on our surgical Ward 3, our medical Ward 4 was completed over Christmas, and our Rehab & Palliative Care units in Ward 2 also got a spruce-up.
Now the patient spaces match the vibrance of the corridors and lobbies, surpassed only by the vibrance of our nurses and staff!
A special shout out to our perioperative legends, no new carpet for the theatres, but some exciting new equipment just installed and kicks off surgery next week.
We are super proud of how the hospital is looking, come take a gander next time you're around. Definitely the best patient care in northern NSW 😁

With deep sorrow, we today said farewell to the remarkable Mary Catherine Ford. In December just gone, Mary was honoured for her 20 years of dedicated service to our Friends of St Vincents volunteer group, as a fund raiser, bookkeeper, gift shop manager and support to good mate Ann Spillane . Mary, always a 'glass half full' type of person, will be remembered for her warm smile, generosity of spirit, compassion, and service to St Vincent's Hospital, the Church, and her community.
It was a beautiful ceremony at St Carthage's Cathedral, and we thank Mary's family and offer our condolences today, in remembering their beloved wife, sister, mother, grandma and great grandma. May she rest in peace.
Thank you Mary.

Surgeons in training - Like Kung-Fu disciples, the intrepid delegates from St Vincent's Lismore headed to China recently to train and master the use of our incoming new game-changing tech. In a couple of weeks our surgeons will be performing their first surgical cases at St Vincent's using the Medbot TOUMAI® Surgical Robot. Congratulations to Dr Kenny Low and Dr Daniel Bills for being the first wave of our specialists to complete their courses, and to Dr Jinna Yao https://www.surs.com.au/dr-jinna-yao-sydney-urological-surgeon who is heavily involved in introducing this tech to the Australian health system.
