Whilst many associate Easter with family meals and favourite traditions, the STARS Food Services team is working hard to recreate that same sense of comfort and celebration for our patients. 🍫🍳

Food Service Officers Steph and Claudette are part of the team that will be cooking up and delivering Easter meals to all of our STARS inpatients this weekend.

"Over the easter period we are doing fish and chips, hot cross buns, easter eggs, all of the favourites you’d expect to see at Easter," said Steph.

"I’m happy to be working over the holiday to provide super quality food to our patients.

"We always strive to deliver exceptional food with even better service; we work hard and we are proud of what we do."

#ShoutoutSaturday to Steph, Claudette and the rest of the STARS Food Services team. ⭐👏 ...

A very special Easter delivery has arrived at Caboolture Hospital💛

Baby Kyinzi was born on 24 March, weighing 3920g and measuring 58cm — and already skipping straight into size 000!

For parents Deki and Sonam, welcoming their daughter marks the end of a long-awaited and joyful journey. The couple, originally from Bhutan, chose her names that are rich in meaning and tradition, usually after a monk.

“Her first name means ‘god of compassion’ and her middle name means ‘moon goddess’,” Sonam said.

With hopes of heading home soon, the new family is looking forward to a special first celebration together.

“We don’t have big plans yet, but we’re just so excited to take her home and spend our first Easter as a family,” Deki said.

Welcome to the world, Kyinzi. 💕 ...

This Easter weekend, the Geriatric Evaluation and Management Service (GEMS) at Caboolture will be filled with more than just chocolate eggs, with the ward also brimming with expert care and heartfelt gestures. 🐰💚

Clinical Nurse Rosaline describes how special it is to work in such a compassionate team with the shared goal of helping patients regain independence and support goals of returning home or transitioning into ongoing care.

"It’s a privilege to walk alongside patients and families during vulnerable moments, offering kindness, dignity, and connection while being part of a supportive and empathetic team," she said.

"Celebrations can be emotionally difficult for patients who are away from home, so we try to bring a sense of warmth, normalcy, and connection into the ward.

"We’ll be sharing Easter eggs and little chocolates, organising family lunches in our courtyard, and wearing fun Easter‑themed scrubs. These small gestures often create big moments of comfort, especially for patients who may feel a little lonely during the holiday period." ...
