No one could have ever predicted that STARS would open during a global pandemic or that we would face this level of ongoing change and uncertainty. Nevertheless, we have made it this far because of our great team work, culture and skillsets.<\/p>\n<p>STARS has received industry recognition through multiple awards, including winning the 2021 Premier\u2019s Award for Excellence, but the most valuable recognition has come from our patients. Over 70,000 patients have walked through our doors since we opened, and they have overwhelmingly sung your praises for the exceptional care and treatment they received while with us.<\/p>\n<p>The vision for STARS was to deliver outstanding health outcomes for patients and the community, and I can confidently say that we have done exactly that and we will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<p>From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for the role you have each played in getting us to where we are today. When we are through this current COVID-19 surge we\u2019ll come back to you with our ideas to celebrate STARS\u2019s first year.<\/p>\n<p>Here is to 2022, our second year of operations, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Best wishes,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Helen Boocock<br \/>\n<\/strong>A\/Executive Director<br \/>\nSurgical, Treatment and Rehabilitation Service (STARS)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week marks one year since we opened the doors to STARS and commenced operations \u2013 and what a year it\u2019s been!<\/p>\n<p>Over the last twelve months, STARS has overcome many challenges to commence and deliver new services and new models of care &#8211; during a pandemic.
