Stepping into the mission, not away from it: Lincoln Hopper
In this episode, Dan speaks with Lincoln Hopper, who is CEO of St Vincent's Care Services - the arm of St Vincent's which provides aged care in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria. Lincoln shares his deep admiration for our staff, some wonderful insights into their commitments at this time, and a story about care in the most challenging of circumstances. His overriding message: at this challenging time, thank you for stepping into the mission and not away from it.
In this Podcast we’re talking to people who love St Vincent’s, love our staff, and love the service we provide in health and aged care. Some of our guests will be staff, some will be leaders, some will be members of the community – and we’ll even have a few Sisters of Charity join us – that great group of vowed religious women who started St Vincent’s nearly 160 years ago.
Our health and aged care ministries, and those who serve within them, are facing an extraordinary moment in human history – the COVID-19 pandemic. This series has a simple purpose in this context: to console you, our staff, who serve in our organisation, through taking some time to pause and reflect, to bolster your courage, and together to cultivate the compassion we need for each other and those we serve at this time.
And, whilst prepared for St Vincent’s, we’re sharing this series with anyone who might find it helpful. If you’re joining us from outside of our services, consider yourself part of the family – you are very welcome indeed.
The series is hosted by Dr Dan Fleming, Group Manager - Ethics and Formation at St Vincent's Health Australia.
