Longreach Hospital recognised for highest standards of patient support

The annual awards are designed to promote and recognise the contributions made by health service staff throughout Queensland.

Those eligible for the awards include hospital orderlies, cleaners, kitchen, grounds and laundry staff who support patients, and work hand-in-hand with clinicians to provide the best health service possible.

“It’s great to see the Longreach Hospital team’s hard work and dedication to our facility and the wider community recognised with this award,” Central West Hospital and Health Service General Manager Acute Health Services Craig Carey said.

“A smile and a friendly face provides great support to patients and colleagues."

Mr Carey said the Operational Services team members had gone above and beyond the call of duty during the current pandemic.

“The team is incredibly responsive and they are always willing to assist others,’’ he said. “They fully deserve this award and recognition.”
