“Many South Australians have a strong connection with the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, often forged during very trying circumstances. The Foundation’s vision and mission immediately resonated with me and joining the Foundation has given me the opportunity to make a real and lasting contribution to our community. I feel humbled every day to support the important work of the Hospital to improve the health and wellbeing of women, children and their families.”
