We are incredibly proud to share that Heather Black, our Director of Clinical Services, has been named the winner of the People Caring for People Award as part of the 2025 National Ramsay Way Awards.
Heather is a deeply valued leader at Linacre. She brings compassion, clarity and a steady hand to every situation, and she has shaped a culture where people feel supported, heard and genuinely cared for. Her commitment to improving patient and staff experience is evident in the way she leads her teams, solves problems and shows up for others. This award reflects the impact she makes here every day.
We also congratulate Jessica Southwell from Port Macquarie Private Hospital and Jack Reid from Donvale Rehabilitation Hospital this year’s runners up in the same category.
A remarkable achievement and a moment of real pride for our entire Linacre community. Congratulations, Heather.
