To the NCHC community,
It is with extreme sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Julie.
Julie was the face of NCHC. She was the first person who greeted you, the warm smile at the front desk, and the voice we all loved to hear around the Practice. Her positivity, witty energy and non-stop drive to help everyone never went unnoticed. Julie was a shining light and left a lasting impression on every patient who walked through our doors.
Julie was a friend to us all. She wasn’t afraid to say it how it was, brought laughter and love no matter the circumstances and was always ready with a cheeky comment, the best advice or words of encouragement when it was needed the most.
Julie was a true best friend. Loyal and kind and always had your back. No one dared argue when faced with her spirited energy.
Dr Linda and Julie first started working together in 2008 in Stanhope. When Dr Linda first sparked the idea of opening up a Practice, Julie was the first person she thought of to bring along for the ride - and what a ride it has been! Julie was there from the beginning and they called it their “baby”. She grew her knowledge to become a highly talented practice manager, achieving practice accreditation and winning multiple awards for us. Her passion and unwavering drive helped to build our baby to what it is today.
Julie, you were one of a kind. You have left a hole in all our hearts and a huge hole in the NCHC family. We don’t know NCHC without you, but we know that you would want us to keep building and growing all the work you helped start. Rest in peace sister, dance with the angels, and fly high. And please, always stay near ❤️
