There's nothing like easing into the weekend with some cool grooves, and that's exactly what patients, visitors and staff experienced at LRH today thanks to a special performance from the Monash Medical Jazz Band.
The band dropped by the hospital ahead of Music for the Valley, a free family-friendly concert taking place tomorrow (Saturday 5 September) from 5pm to 8pm at the Federation University Auditorium in Churchill.
The event will feature performances from the Monash Medical Jazz Band, Monash Medical Orchestra and Kurnai College Band, along with food trucks and giveaways. Register for the event: https://events.humanitix.com/music-for-the-valley It’s free!
Celebrate the power of music to bring communities together.
Big, big thanks to the Monash musicians for including LRH in its schedule once again! 🎶🎷

This week we visited our amazing partners at – they are part of the awesome team that help keep our grounds and facilities looking so good 🤩

LVE is such a valued partner of LRH, we love working with this local social enterprise which creates meaningful employment opportunities for people in our community.

As part of , we headed along to LVE’s Open Day to see more of the team does, including getting a behind-the-scenes look at its facilities 👀

One highlight was seeing a braille sign being made. It’s highly specialised work done by hand and it was a privilege to see that level of skill and expertise up close.

As a major regional organisation, our approach to social procurement goes beyond compliance. It’s about using the way we buy goods and services to create opportunity, strengthen our local economy and help more people get a fair go 🫶

We’re so proud to work alongside LVE and to have such an important social enterprise right here in Gippsland. Impressive work, LVE! 🙌

A big shout out for WIN News Gippsland for coming along and covering this!

We’re creating more ways for women and families to have their voice heard in their maternity journey.

LRH has introduced a new Birth Reflection and Engagement Service, giving women and families another opportunity to share their experience, ask questions and talk about their pregnancy, birth and early parenting journey.

Experienced midwife Cathryn Heywood has recently commenced in the new role, bringing almost 40 years of midwifery experience.

The service provides a dedicated space for conversation and reflection, with appointments tailored to each family.

Women can access the service during pregnancy or after birth, either through self-referral or referral from their healthcare team.

It also gives us another way to hear directly from the families we care for.

Their feedback and insights help us continue to strengthen maternity care and keep women and families at the centre of what we do.

Sometimes the biggest impact comes from the smallest hands. 🙌
When Memphis and Melissa were encouraged by St Paul’s Anglican Grammar in Traralgon to get out of the house and involved in an activity, they turned their energy into something truly special.
By running a cupcake, slice and lemonade stand, the girls raised an incredible $580 for the Gippsland Cancer Care Centre.
They recently handed over their donation to Emily, our Oncology Unit Manager and Mat from Gippsland Radiation Oncology. We are so thankful for Memphis and Melissa's kindness, initiative and commitment to helping others.
Well done, Memphis and Melissa. You've shown that you're never too young to make a real difference in your community!

Meet Allen! 💛
After undergoing a laryngectomy as part of his throat cancer treatment, Allen had to find a new way to communicate. With the support of our dedicated team of speech pathologists, he continues to enjoy the things that matter most – spending time with his family, travelling, and taking part in his local Lions Club.

This Speech Pathology Week, we are sharing Allen's story to celebrate this year's theme, "Communication creates possibility". His journey is a reminder that communication is about so much more than your voice. It's about staying connected, being understood, and continuing to live life your way.

For 20 years, the Gippsland Cancer Care Centre has continued to grow, bringing more services, expertise and technology closer to home 🫶

To mark this milestone, we've been sharing a series of videos that highlight the people and services behind cancer care in Gippsland 📹

This week we'd love you to meet our Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist...Michael!

Most patients never meet the specialists working behind the scenes to make sure every radiation treatment is delivered safely and accurately 🧐

This video introduces the important role of a Radiation Oncology Medical Physicist, explaining how treatment equipment is tested, calibrated and monitored, and how science and technology help ensure every treatment is tailored to each patient.

It's a fascinating insight into one of the many expert teams helping deliver world-class cancer care right here in Gippsland 🧑‍⚕️

It's a great introduction to an important service that supports patients throughout their treatment. Take a look inside: https://youtu.be/FhOStMeRqsQ
