Waiheke Health Trust is thrilled to announce that Dr Stephanie Cox, PhD, has moved into the new role of Community Services Coordinator for the Trust! 🥳🥳🥳
Steph has worked as an Occupational Therapist for the Trust since 2012 and also serves as our Quality Officer and liaison for the new Waihub. She is a determined housing advocate and 'bird nerd', volunteering as a trustee for Waiheke Community Housing Trust and as the administrator for the Rocky Bay Rat Busters.
But most of all, Steph is an inspiring, creative and dedicated clinician and colleague. We'll let her words speak for themselves:
'There is no greater joy than to hold a hemiplegic hand, to walk alongside a gradual loss of movement, to be part of the frustration of painstaking rehabilitation, the grief of disease and disability, and the strength of persistence and the celebration of wins with a patient’s whānau and friends.
I’m very much part of a team at the Waiheke Health Trust where disability, disease and death can be a beautiful thing. It is something that society often hides away, covers up, or turns away from. It is such a taonga to be welcomed in to be part of.'
Congratulations, Steph!
