When we were called upon, we answered: Toby Hall
In the final episode, Dan speaks with Toby Hall - Group CEO of St Vincent's Health Australia. In a wide-ranging discussion, Toby shares his reflection on how St Vincent's has responded to the pandemic through its aged care, private hospital, and public hospital services, noting both the extraordinary front-line and back-office work that has been required of our people during this time. Toby draws out a number of amazing stories of this time, and St Vincent's amazing history, to hone in on what our Mission calls us towards. The conversation then moves to the future: where to from here? As Toby notes, there are challenging times ahead, which bring with them new opportunities to write the next chapter's of St Vincent's Mission in action. And to end the series, Toby provides a huge thanks - to our people, not just on his behalf, but on behalf of the Mission whose call we've answered at this time.
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.
