Hospital Heroes Gallery: Fundamental Foundations

The Hospital Heroes project celebrates the ‘unsung heroes’ of The Royal Children’s Hospital – the many people who go above and beyond to make the RCH one of the world’s great hospitals for children.

A dedicated support team works tirelessly behind the scenes each day to ensure that the intricacies of the hospital’s operations are seamless, and the Fundamental Foundations are in place.

Meet some of the heroes who play an integral role in allowing the RCH to provide the best possible care to our patients and families.

This exhibition is dedicated to the memory of Kylie Amos.

Proudly supported by BankVic, the member owned bank for health workers. Find out more at www.bankvic.org.au
