planting for the future As part of the transition day activities, a pear tree was planted at Northern Beaches Hospital to mark the hospital’s transition to NSW Health and the beginning of a new chapter for patients, staff and the local community. The tree was planted by Northern Sydney Local Health District Chief Executive Anthony Schembri, Northern Beaches Hospital General Manager Simon Hill, Healthscope Director of Transition Deb Fogarty and former Northern Beaches Hospital Chief Executive Officer Kathryn Berry as a gift from Healthscope. The pear tree was chosen as a homage to the history of the local area around the hospital, which was once home to a number of pear orchards. Now located at the front of the hospital near the flag poles, the new pear tree will stand as a lasting symbol of growth, continuity and the hospital’s future as part of NSW Health. Simon Hill said the tree planting was a meaningful way to recognise the transition. “This pear tree represents the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Northern Beaches Hospital,” he said. It also acknowledges the local history of the L-R - Former NBH Chief Executive Officer Kathryn Berry, Healthscope Director Of Transition Deb Fogarty, NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri and NBH General Manager Simon Hill
area and the many people who have helped bring us to this point.”
