As a younger man, Alan was an accountant with a local firm. He was a self-diagnosed workaholic who rarely took holidays.

When he did have free time, Alan indulged his love of books and spent time reading whenever he could.

Life changed for Alan in 1996 when he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. He spent the next 3 years adjusting and starting to manage the condition to ensure he could still live a long and purposeful life.

"I still do a lot of reading but lately have been more of an outdoors type person, tending to the garden when I can."

"My advice to others? Be sensible about the role work plays in your life. You can't get the time back"

🌳 To coincide with National Reconciliation Week, a new Gathering Garden at The Prince Charles Hospital recently opened. The Gathering Garden will be used for cultural ceremonies and practices, including Sorry Business, Sad News, grief or bereavement. 

Metro North Indigenous Liaison Officers were present at a recent Smoking Ceremony to officially present the garden to the community and share the importance of spaces like this.

“The garden offers a safe outdoor space for patients to reflect and connect, beyond their treatments. There’s a deep sense of spiritual comfort here” – Nicola 

“It’s a space to gather, reflect, and strengthen relationships—including among staff.” – Rhonda

The beautiful new garden has been designed for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of the hospital community and reflects our commitment to Health Equity and improving health outcomes. 🍃🌿
