Patient Feedback
Thank you to the wonderful family for the recognition of the work our staff do at The Children’s Hospital in a feedback box submission recently.
The feedback reads:
“All the nurses were exceptionally friendly, helpful and supportive. There was definitely the "care" factor which made all the difference and a positive experience.
THANK YOU to all the doctors, specialists and nurses for everything they have done for my child who means the world to me. Thank you and wishing you all the best.”

Heart Centre cuties
A big thank you to Monty and Edie who were recently decked out in specially-made Heart Centre for Children t-shirts, supporting their Mum Catriona as she did her first ever triathlon (which raised a big chunk of money towards our new echo machines). Here's a photo that was just sent through of the cuties in their great outfits.

Nine year old Paris' story
Diagnosed with SVT two years ago, Paris has had quite a journey to get to where she is today - a healthy, SVT-free young lady. And a courageous and well-spoken one to boot. Paris spoke to an audience of 196 guests at the Echo Gala Dinner in September, where she was the belle of the ball and highlight of the night. Read her speech (her story) here.| Posted in:Patients |

Happy birthday Corey!
Not everyone celebrates their 13th birthday with the Parramatta Eels and a few Channel 7 cameras, but Corey Lake is not just anyone. He's a brave young man who has been through a lot, including a heart transplant when he was just four years old and fighting off non-Hodgkins lymphoma a few years later. Corey is back in hospital with us at the moment but can also be found on 7 News and in the Daily Telegraph! Read more about his story here.

Monty's story
The story of one of our little patients, Monty, features in the NSW Helicopter Reform Plan. It's a touching tale because Monty went into cardiac shock at just seven days old and had to be rushed to The Children's Hospital at Westmead from Wyong. That's when we first met Monty and fell in love with the little guy, who pulled through just fine. To read Monty's story go to Page 20 of the Helicopter Reform Plan.
