JUNIOR doctors have bolstered Hornsby Hospital’s halls as part of an internship program with Northern Sydney Local Health District and Sydney University.
Sixteen interns were welcomed by Hornsby state Liberal MP Matt Kean last week when they started their careers with internships at the Sydney Adventist Hospital at Wahroonga and Hornsby Hospital.
Hornsby Hospital will be able to purchase life-saving equipment thanks to a donation of $4,000 from the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai District
Tennis Association.
The Hospital will use the funds to purchase a Bronchoscope for intubating patients. Hornsby MP Matt Kean joined Mei and Marc Donnelly at the
hospital to see first-hand how this equipment will work to save patients in the operating theatre.
Mr MATT KEAN ( Hornsby ) ( 13:21 ): Today I speak about the Thierry family. In 2004 the Thierry family lost their son, Xavier, who was delivered prematurely at Hornsby Hospital. Despite their loss, Alison and Paul-Andre Thierry remember the wonderful support given to them by the staff and what it was like to lose Xavier. The desire to prevent this same tragedy occurring to anyone else is what motivated the Thierry family to donate a Vision for Life camera unit from the children's charity, Variety.

Health Minister Jillian Skinner was joined today by Member for Hornsby Matt Kean and Liberal candidate for Ku-ring-gai Alister Henskens to announce a $200 million commitment to the next stage of the major redevelopment of Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital.
After being elected as Member for Hornsby in March 2011, I have embarked on many initiatives that the community and I see as pivotal issues for Hornsby. I see and understand the needs of the community and am proud to play my part.
