Exceptional Compassionate Care in Kalgoorlie

"Exceptional Compassionate Care in Kalgoorlie"

About: Kalgoorlie Health Campus / Emergency Department

(as a parent/guardian),

My child had an unexpected diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at Kalgoorlie hospital. Whilst we are in for a roller coaster that will last a lifetime we have been thoroughly supported and cared for from the moment we walked in the door to triage until we were flown out through RFDS. Eternally grateful to everyone involved but a special thank you to the hospital coordinator Alex for her support and care and to patient care assistant Graeme for running around the hospital getting us the things we needed.
