Adroit Insurance & Risk and McKern Steel Foundation recently hosted their first inaugural charity golf day raising funds for Bendigo Health's Special Care Nursery.

It was great to show Michael and Chris around the unit and even more exciting to show them the new ATOM Incubator, a crucial tool that supports the care and recovery of premature and unwell babies that was funded through the golf day.

Thank you to all players, sponsors and supporters of the day ✨

Today, on National Police Remembrance Day, we pause to honour the police officers who serve and protect our community and remember with deep respect those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. 💙

We are grateful to the Blue Ribbon Foundation - Bendigo, whose ongoing support has provided vital equipment and scholarships in memory of fallen members.

Here at Bendigo Health, our ICU waiting room carries a special dedication to Senior Constable Norman Curson, a lasting reminder of his service and sacrifice.

Always remembered. Always honoured. 💙
