Whenever you meet a nurse from St Vincent’s, one thing stands out: their passion for their work and their patients. Jess Brain, a 6 West Oncology Ward nurse, is no exception. Jess is channelling this passion to commit to her fourth year of giving up alcohol to do Dry July. Each year, she’s raised around $1,000, however this year Jess is keen to lift the bar and raise $2,000. These funds will go towards funding a music therapist for patients. “Music brings people together. It’s so nice for patients to forget where they are for a short time and enjoy the music; it’s a beautiful gift to give them. It also helps to lift the team’s spirits.” Support Jess as she goes dry this July by making a donation to her team and reading her full story: https://lnkd.in/gvJk2RBi

We recently caught up with Dr Yi Yuen Wang, a neurosurgeon here at St Vincent's Hospital. He and his team are excited about moving into the new East Tower. With a career spanning over 27 years since his graduation from the University of Melbourne, Dr Ian Wang has been at the forefront of neurosurgery, performing roughly 200 of the 2,000 neurosurgeries the hospital conducts each year. Dr Wang said, "Once the new building is completed, there will be more beds in more wards, and all the facilities will be state-of-the-art." St Vincent's is not just expanding, it's transforming the future of neurosurgery. The new Neuroscience Center is set to become a hub for brain, spine, and pituitary treatments. "This new centre will enable us to offer advanced treatments like robotic and minimally invasive surgeries," Dr Wang said. As we push the boundaries of medical excellence, we invite you to be part of this transformative journey. Act by June 30th to make your tax-deductible contribution count this financial year.
