Dying well<\/h2>\n

Below is some lovely feedback from a deceased patient\u2019s family. It really highlights how amazing our team is to still be able to provide outstanding, compassionate care despite the challenges we are facing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father-in-law was admitted on the 20th June into the ED resus area. He was very unwell and passed away. The entire staff were friendly, helpful, courteous and interested in making sure his rights and dignity were catered for. They also made sure that his family – me included – were treated with the same respect. Our family would like to thank you all. It made a very difficult process and time bearable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"KilcoyCelebrating Kath\u2019s 45 Years!<\/h2>\n

The Kilcoy team held a lunch at the hospital to acknowledge Kath’s contribution and dedication to the hospital, patients, colleagues and the Kilcoy community.<\/p>\n

Farewell and good luck!<\/p>\n
