Today, on International Day of the Midwife, we pause to recognise and celebrate the extraordinary midwives at The Bays and across the world.

Your skill, compassion, and calm presence guide families through some of life’s most profound moments. From pregnancy to birth and those first precious days after, you provide care that is both clinically expert and deeply human.

You support, reassure, advocate, and nurture - often all at once - and you do it with unwavering dedication.

Thank you for the difference you make every single day. You truly embody The Bays Difference. 💜

🎨 Final week to view Jan Salmon’s Art at The Bays - Now with 30-40% off

There’s just one week left to enjoy the beautiful works of local artist Jan Salmon on display at The Bays - and to celebrate the final days of her exhibition, Jan has generously offered 30-40% off all paintings until Sunday, 11 May.

Inspired by the colours and landscapes of the Mornington Peninsula, Jan’s pieces bring warmth, nature and calm to our hospital corridors - and now is the perfect time to take one home. Might even make the perfect Mother's Day gift!

Every artwork sold through The Bays Artcare Program helps raise vital funds to support patient care, so your purchase makes a difference in more ways than one.

If you’re visiting The Bays for an appointment, scan or blood test, take a moment to explore Jan’s collection in the main corridor before it’s gone. 🖼️

Come along to an important evening of conversation, connection and awareness at the Community Bank Mt Martha Wellness Centre.

This free community event is designed to raise awareness, share knowledge and encourage earlier conversations about ovarian cancer.

Held on Tuesday 20 May at 6.30pm, the evening is being organised by Susan Young in honour of her best friend Michelle, who was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer last year.

Guests will hear about the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer, the importance of listening to your body, and why early attention matters. The evening will also feature insights from the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, Australia’s leading independent funder of ovarian cancer research, along with a lived experience perspective.

It is a valuable opportunity to learn more, ask questions and connect with others in a supportive and informative setting.

Free tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/pat-public-awareness-talk-about-ovarian-cancer-tickets-1984178893483
