24.01.2022 Our Specialist Centre is glowing pink for the month of October to raise awareness of breast cancer and the importance of early detection. The initiative is being undertaken in support of #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, a national program which is held 1 31 October 2019 annually. SJG Subiaco Hospital CEO Prof Shirley Bowen said breast cancer is the most common cancer among Australian women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.... As a leading provider of complete cancer care to the Western Australian community, it is imperative that we raise awareness of the condition, as well as the importance of early detection and the impact this has on treatment options and survival, she said. We are also committed to providing breast cancer patients access to the latest and most innovative care and treatments available. For more information, please visit https://bit.ly/31kHIjI

24.01.2022 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
