01.01.2022 Today we remember Sue Sayers who sadly passed 22 March 2016. In 2014 we established HealthLAB with borrowed equipment, generous volunteers, and $2000. Sue’s driving force and vision set it on its path of having 10,380 participants to date across the NT. In my last hospital visit to Sue she asked me to keep HealthLAB going. It’s a promise I and the HealthLAB team at Menzies intend to keep. Thanks to you all for your support. Heidi Smith-Vaughan
