Honoring a Legacy: Farewell to Our Longstanding Sterile Services Leader
On Friday, May 2nd, we bid a heartfelt farewell to Anita, our dedicated Sterile Services Team Leader, as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement after 28 remarkable years with Southern Cross Healthcare, and more recently, Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital (SCCLH).
Anita's journey began even before the doors of SCCLH opened, where she played an instrumental role in sourcing and purchasing the equipment and instruments that would support our surgeons in their vital work. From that pivotal moment, she became an irreplaceable part of the Sterile Services Department, nurturing its growth alongside the hospital’s expanding services and specialties.
At her farewell, Chris White, CEO of Southern Cross Healthcare, expressed deep gratitude for Anita’s unwavering commitment and the immeasurable contributions she made over nearly three decades. Her passion, loyalty, and infectious spirit left a lasting impact on both our team and the broader healthcare community.
Anita, we are truly thankful for your exceptional longstanding service and the impact you left on all of us. We wish you all the best as you step into the next chapter of your life. Your legacy here will always be cherished.
