Celebrating Mercy Health Albury's 2026 Women’s Honour Roll Nominees

This International Women’s Day, we honoured five incredible women who make Mercy Health Albury a more caring and compassionate place every single day.

💖 Rose Khuong – Brightens every room with kindness and gentleness, creating a place where people feel truly cared for.
💖 Gene Cann – A steady, calming presence whose quiet compassion makes a difference to everyone around her.
💖 Julie Press – The behind‑the‑scenes powerhouse who supports our teams with kindness and exemplifies dedication.
💖 Dr Pei Rong – A deeply committed geriatrician whose patients return years later to thank her, and a mentor who lifts women up with generosity and encouragement.
💖 Jess McLean – A compassionate leader in Palliative Care whose strength, humility and heart help her team and her family thrive.

Today we honour not just what they do, but the way they lift others, lead with kindness, and help “balance the scales” for women in healthcare.

Thank you to for the beautiful blooms.

💜 Happy International Women’s Day 2026, here’s to the women who inspire us every day.

Local Stars to Shine at National Dementia Conference!

We are proud to announce that our very own Pauline Lawrence, Social Worker (GEM and Palliative Care Units), and Leanne Egan, Allied Health Assistant, were selected to speak at the Dementia + Recreation National Conference in May.

This is the first time the conference panel has accepted a reminiscing paper from an inpatient setting. Pauline and Leanne presented on the Mercy Health Albury - Social Activity Reminiscing Group from our GEM Unit, specifically focusing into the valuable lessons and learnings from the implementation of our Social Activities Reminiscing Group (SARG) initiative. The SARG program was designed to create a social environment with the aim of potentially improving mood, social interactions, safety, and overall well-being for our patients.

The Dementia + Recreation National Conference is renowned for bringing together leading Recreation, Lifestyle, Allied Health, and other professionals dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with dementia.

Join us in congratulating Pauline and Leanne on this opportunity to share their expertise and represent Mercy Health Albury on a national stage.
