We love it when our patients revisit to tell us how they are getting on. On this occasion we were very excited to have Graham visit our Renal Dialysis Unit to let us know that he had a successful kidney transplant.

A year on from his transplant and Graham is still going strong.
A retired dairy farmer, Graham started his dialysis with us in Busselton and then moved to our Bunbury Dialysis Unit for nine months before his transplant at Fiona Stanley Hospital.

Graham thanked the Bunbury Renal Dialysis team for their ongoing support said the team was brilliant. He enjoyed getting to know them over that time.

Nurse Unit Manager Jith said it was very rewarding to see Graham return to the Renal Dialysis Unit after a transplant, and not for dialysis. Graham wanted to let everyone know that his surgery was a success!

We are so thrilled for Graham - thank you for sharing your story.

Graham is pictured with some of the members of our Dialysis Unit team and our Deputy Director of Nursing Juanita Tucker.

Sight restoring micro eye surgery at St John of God Bunbury Hospital a first for the South West region 👏

Our new specialist vitreoretinal (eye) surgeon and ophthalmologist Dr Alex H Kang provided an update this week on the surgical procedure and the state-of-the-art equipment. Thanks to Dr Kang and the generosity of the community we are the first hospital in the South West to offer this type of surgery 🎉

The news was featured on 7News and the ABC this week 📰

Vitreoretinal surgery uses lasers and advanced surgical equipment to treat damage inside the eye. It treats conditions that affect the retina which is responsible for receiving light and forming visual images. It is important that damage to these parts of the eye is treated to avoid loss of vision.

St John of God Bunbury Hospital CEO Jack Harding said the introduction of vitreoretinal surgery in the South West would make a meaningful difference for patients. “Thanks to the capabilities and experience of Dr Kang, and the hospital’s investment in specialist surgical equipment including the latest Unity VCS System from Alcon, South West residents no longer have to travel to Perth to have this surgery,” he said.

A huge THANK YOU to the donors to the St John of God Foundation, Friends of St John of God Bunbury Hospital (our lovely volunteers) and Bunbury & Busselton Eye Specialists for making it all possible 🙏

Dr Neil Sinclair and Dr Russell Townsend also spoke about their role in expanding Ophthalmology services with the hospital so that our patients can have their treatments in the South West.
