VALE TRENT JENNISON

The staff and doctors of Mayo Private Hospital are saddened by the passing of Trent Jennison who was our respected and admired CEO from 1997 to 2010.

Trent served with vision, integrity and an unwavering commitment to ensuring our community had access to excellent healthcare.

During his tenure at Mayo Private, Trent played a vital role in shaping the direction of the hospital, expanding services and ensuring patient care remained at the heart of everything we do. His leadership left a lasting legacy for the many doctors and staff that he worked with and today, on a day where the community can celebrate his life, we are reminded of what a privilege it was to work with him.

Mayo Private Hospital was proud to have Trent as a leader in our community. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Trent's family and friends.

Rest in Peace our friend.
