25.01.2022 This week is Pastoral Care Week and we would like to thank our Pastoral Care Practitioners (pictured below) for the valued services they provide to our patients and caregivers. Members of the team ensure that the spiritual and emotional needs of our patients and their families are met, sometimes during the most challenging of times. In recognition of the week, a special Mass and Recommissioning of the Pastoral Services Team will be held and team members will be visiting wards and departments to communicate information about their work.

25.01.2022 Living an active lifestyle has always been important to 73-year-old Yallingup resident and former professional surfer, Barry Young. However, the onset of osteoarthritis in both knees resulted in stiffness and instability, impacting his ability to do the one thing he loved most, surfing. In January this year, Barry underwent a bilateral total knee replacement at SJG Subiaco Hospital. The surgery was performed with the assistance of the robotic technology.... Commenting on the procedure, Barry said he was pleasantly surprised by how quickly he recovered. By the three month mark, I was able to get back into the surf. While I was a little wobbly at first, it was amazing that I felt strong enough to get back into it so quickly. To read Barry’s story, visit https://bit.ly/34QlHtU
