MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Dear colleagues, As we approach my first month working in Hornsby Ku - Ring - Gai Hospital, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible achievements and milestones we ’ve celebrated together . First and foremost, I am thrilled to congratulate Gosha Gersbach, Clinical Midwifery Specialist, on receiving the prestigious Michelle Beets Award. Gosha’s dedication to neonatal care and her commitment to family - centred care have made a profound impact on our patients, families, and colleagues. Her vision to establish an education fund for maternity staff is a testament to her selflessness and passion. I also had the privilege of meeting Mayor Warren Waddell of Hornsby Shire Council, who expressed his appreciation for the vital role our hospital plays in the community. The Council has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting HKH into the future , a partnership that strengthens our vision of delivering quality healthcare . This month, we proudly joined NSW Health in celebrating Gathering of Kindness Week. The theme, “One care, many voices–because kindness lives here” , inspired activities such as stone decorating for our future Kindness Garden, a collaborative colouring - in poster, and origami messages of thanks. These initiatives remind us of the power of compassion in healthcare. NSLHD held it’s Annual Public Meeting on 21 November 2025, they showcased how digital innovation is transforming the way we connect, share information and deliver care across the health system. I was honoured to present Time in Service Certificates to colleagues marking milestones from 10 to an incredible 45 years of service , an achievement that speaks volumes about the dedication and culture that make HKH a great place to work. I was equally delighted to present the L.O.V.E.D. Awards for Employee and Team of the Month, recognising staff who go above and beyond in caring for patients and supporting each other. Congratulations to all recipients , you inspire us every day. Finally, I look forward to seeing you at our End - of - Year “Thank You Lunch” Event on Friday, 12 December 2025 at the Yarning Circle. For those on evening shifts, special deliveries will ensure you don’t miss out. This celebration is our way of saying thank you for your incredible efforts throughout the year. As we head into the festive season, I wish everyone a joyful and safe holiday. For those taking a well - earned break, enjoy time with loved ones. Thank you to all our staff who are working during the holidays, thank you for continuing to provide exceptional care to our patients and community. Best Regards,
Amanda Green - General Manager, HKH
