Tami Photinos, Executive Director, The Prince Charles Hospital<\/p><\/div>\n

Wow, what a big week we\u2019ve had with our TPCH Charlies Week celebrations. It\u2019s been a great, fun-filled week with some fantastic activities (and lots of food!). The Executive team and myself would like to thank staff for participating and getting involved in the true spirit of the week.<\/h4>\n

There has certainly been a great vibe around the hospital! You might be interested to know that I competed in the Jelly Legs competition as part of the Charlies Fitness Challenge on Giving day with Michelle Gunner, Executive Office Coordinator and we almost won – we came second. Not bad for an old girl!<\/p>\n

Giving Day<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Executive Leadership Team at Giving Day<\/p><\/div>\n

The Common Good\u2019s second annual Giving Day was a huge success, with donations surpassing the $250,000 goal and a lot of fun had by all who attended! We couldn\u2019t have reached this impressive milestone or had such a fantastic day without the help of our generous supporters, and volunteers, along with the hospital teams who rolled up their sleeves to drum up donations. We are also so grateful to everyone who joined in activities like the fitness challenge and the dress-up competition!<\/p>\n

The funding raised this year will be used to support a range of vital, patient-centred projects within TPCH and Caboolture Hospital, including a village-like community spare within the Cognitive Assessment and Management Unit, expanding the Grand-friends program at TPCH Early Education Centre, and memory corridors to promote mobility and cognitive stimulation for older patients. We look forward to these initiatives for our patients. There\u2019s still time to contribute to these great projects. Click here<\/a> to show your support.<\/p>\n

A huge thanks to Michael Hornby and his team at the Common Good for their efforts in coordinating such a successful Giving Day event that will help us deliver initiatives to improve the experience of our patients.<\/p>\n

Shout out<\/h2>\n

This week I\u2019d like to give a shout out to Karen Leighton, Kirsty Leo and Dr Gurudev Kewalram who graduated from the Metro North Executive Leaders Program earlier this week. This program is designed to identify, develop, and retain senior employees with the ability, engagement, and aspiration to progress to other senior within a health environment. I was fortunate enough to attend the final presentations for these staff members and I congratulate them on their success in completing the program.<\/p>\n

Dr Gurudev Kewalram, Kirsty Leo, Tami Photinos and Karen Leighton<\/p><\/div>\n

Congratulations again to all of our winners, and thank you to everyone who helped make TPCH Week a great success.<\/p>\n
