Why Board Members Volunteer to Help Sydney Adventist Hospital

“As a past patient, I know what first class medical and nursing care the San delivers – I am delighted to support the Foundation and help other people get access to even better technological advances in medicine that have an amazing impact on people’s lives for diagnosis and treatment. The San’s decision to purchase the latest CT scanner will both improve lives and save them. As a Foundation board member I’m thrilled to be associated with it.”

Allen Broome

 

“Accountants like me traditionally measure cost benefits. I hoped when I volunteered as Foundation Treasurer I’d be really helping improving the quality of people’s lives – new chairs for renal dialysis is yet another appeal that will realise my hope and provide comfort for patients.”

“The key to the strength of any organisation like the San that has survived for over 100 years is its people, philosophy and structure – but the key is people; People with vision, skills and resources to provide above and beyond what is expected.”

Robert E Smith

 

“As a long time Rotarian, counsellor and University of Sydney committee member, I enjoy helping the SAH Foundation help others in our local community.  When a philosophy of caring underpins everything you do, that’s when you get great results. Great results are good for the community and inspire others to strive for improvement.”

Mathilde Kearny-Kibble

 

“Although we live in a world fraught with disease and sickness we are lucky to have a place such as the San.”

Pastor Ray Coombe

 

“My appointment as an international ambassador to the SAH board is a personal and professional thrill for me for several levels. Firstly, I, my son and my four grandchildren were all born here, while equally importantly, the San’s passion to help others is inspiring and something that I share. I’m looking forward to helping the San help others.”

Norma Rosenhain

 

“Health and wellbeing are key interests for me. The philosophy of the San and its holistic approach to providing medical, nursing, psychosocial and pastoral support is something I strongly believe in.”

Ian Watts 

  

“I believe strongly in contributing back to the society I have been rewarded by – The San Foundation allows me to use my years of experience, as CEO and Chairman of major Australian companies is a positive productive manner that will benefit my children and their children….After every Foundation Board meeting I leave moved, sometimes overwhelmed, with gratitude at people’s generosity towards others in need. I’d like to personally thank the donors - I wish you could see the joy in patients and their families faces as a result of some of the initiatives you’ve funded.”

Peter Cottrell AO OBE

 

“After a professional life as MD and CEO of several large companies, and being a past patient I am committed to supporting the San. I consider being on the Board at the San where such good work is being done, recognized and supported by Federal, State and Local Governments and altruistic community members, to be an absolute honour… helping the San deliver medical excellence to its patients is an absolute pleasure.”
