Today, we celebrate our incredible nurses, including our very own Senior Staff Nurse Nazrina Hoque from Yishun Community Hospital, whose inspiring journey exemplifies the heart of nursing.

From maintaining order as a prison officer to nurturing our elderly patients with dementia, Nazrina's career transition at 32 showcases remarkable courage and dedication. Despite the challenges of balancing full-time studies with raising four young children, she persevered to pursue her calling in healthcare.

Now armed with an advanced diploma in gerontology from Nanyang Polytechnic, Nazrina brings a unique blend of skills to her role. Her previous experience helps her handle challenging situations with composure, while her natural empathy transforms the lives of our elderly patients.

"Many elderly patients, especially those with dementia, respond positively to consistent, empathetic care," shares Nazrina. Her approach has led to remarkable transformations in patients who were once withdrawn or agitated.

To Nazrina and all our nurses — thank you for your unwavering commitment to providing compassionate care. Your dedication makes a difference every day. 💪

🌟 Happy Nurses' Day! 🌟

“Sometimes just a scent, a sound, or a sight can trigger hidden sorrow.”

What happens after caregiving ends? Through years of supporting bereaved caregivers, our Principal Medical Social Worker Lim Siao Ee has witnessed countless individuals navigate the complex journey of grief, not just for their loved ones, but also for the caregiving role that defined their daily lives. ❤️‍🩹

“As a society, we must better understand and support those experiencing bereavement,” Siao Ee shares, drawing from her extensive social work experience. “We should create safe environments where people can freely express their grief without fear of judgment or misunderstanding.”

When you’re in the hospital, nurses are amongst the first friendly faces you’ll meet and the ones who stay by your side throughout your journey. Ever noticed their different uniforms? Let’s take a peek behind these carefully chosen colours! 👀

⚪️ Our Enrolled Nurses wear white with light blue details, bringing fresh energy and optimism to every corner of our hospital.

🔵 You’ll spot our Registered Nurses in white too, but with dark blue accents that represent their growing expertise and experience in patient care.

🔴 Leading our nursing teams are our Nursing Officers in dark blue uniforms with red piping, reflecting their maturity, dynamic leadership and deep passion for healthcare.

So next time you’re here, you’ll know who’s exactly caring for you or your loved ones! Each uniform tells a story of dedication, experience and heart. ❤️

Since joining us in 2017, Senior Occupational Therapist Mah Looi Han has worked across multiple settings at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) and Yishun Community Hospital (YCH). Now based at the YCH Day Rehabilitation Centre (DRC), she supports patients in regaining independence and resuming their daily roles through individualised rehabilitation. Beyond her clinical work, she also leads service improvement projects and contributes to building team competencies, ensuring that therapy provided at YCH remains relevant and effective.

"Occupational therapy is not just about helping someone shower independently. It's about doing so in a way that honours their values," she explains. Looi Han helps patients adapt daily tasks, prescribes assistive equipment, trains caregivers, and supports reintegration into the community and workforce. One memorable case involved helping a stroke survivor regain strength through baking. The patient eventually returned to volunteering — a role that brought her deep fulfilment and joy.

She expresses appreciation for her supportive supervisors who offered flexible work options during her journey as a working mother. Her continued involvement with the Singapore Association of Occupational Therapists (SAOT), and her organisation's openness to innovation, have kept her energised and committed to the profession.

Looi Han takes pride in YCH DRC’s unique position as a community-based setting within a hospital. This integration has created opportunities to streamline and right-site services across both primary hospital institutions and community care, enabling more seamless and coordinated support for patients. What began as an instinctive career choice has since grown into a purposeful calling.

"It's a privilege to help others return to the lives and roles they value," she reflects. When not helping patients rebuild their lives, Looi Han cherishes time with her two toddlers. This balance of professional purpose and family life reinforces her commitment to value-based care, grounded in empathy and purpose.
