Lakeland LTC and WPSHC were very lucky to host acclaimed cellist Cameron Crozman!

Cameron was kind enough to swing by with a 275 year-old cello (😲) and perform a selection of Bach's suites. By the time the final note rang out, there wasn't a dry eye in the house!

WPSHC and Lakeland are privileged to enjoy the continued support and partnership of such generous, compassionate, and talented individuals. Our sincerest thanks to Cameron for taking the time out of his day to bring a little music to our lives!

This past week was !

Our Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) team celebrated with education, vaccinations, music, and chocolate bars! The incredible work done by this team ensures that our health centre continues to be a safe place of care by minimising infection transmission risks. 👀

This year’s theme, "Bridging Gaps, Building Bridges," highlights the collaborative nature of health care, and how a healthy community does not happen in isolation.

Our teams exemplify this approach, as IPAC education worked in tandem with community participation to increase vaccination rates, promote hand hygiene, and encourage vigilance around infection transmission vectors.

Thank you, IPAC!
