Wayfinders are coming soon! 🗺️

You may have noticed some new machines being installed around the hospital.

So, what are they?

These are our new wayfinders, similar to the interactive directories you see in shopping centres. Once launched, they'll help patients and visitors easily navigate our hospital campus and find their way to appointments and facilities.

They're not quite ready to use just yet, as we're putting the finishing touches on the maps. Stay tuned for when they go live!

53 years ago today!

On the 10th of June 1973, a new era for the hospital began with the official opening of the Clifford Tower by NSW Governor General Sir Roden Cutler. The eight-story extension was named in honour of Dr Herbert Clifford, the hospital’s director (later CEO), whose vision and leadership were instrumental in bringing the project to life.

This milestone also marked the hospital’s transition to the name Sydney Adventist Hospital. However, for generations of patients, staff and the wider community, it has always been known as the San 💙

It’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month! 🍎

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second deadliest cancer, but when detected early, it is one of the most treatable.

Knowing the signs could make all the difference. If you experience any of the following symptoms, speak with your GP:
- Blood in your poo
- Obvious change in your bowel habit
- Weight loss you can't explain
- Extreme tiredness for no reason
- Lump or swelling in your abdomen

To help raise awareness, Jess and Christine, our Bowel Cancer and Upper GI Patient Navigators, were outside the cafeteria sharing information, testing knowledge with quizzes, and selling special cupcakes. Funds raised will support the San Cancer Support Centre and the vital services it provides to patients and their families.

Happy Volunteers Week! 💛

This week, we celebrated the incredible contribution and dedication of our volunteer team. Twenty-six years ago, under the leadership of Pamela Ludowici, the original Pink Ladies volunteers evolved into the yellow shirt volunteers we know today. This year, we were proud to recognise several remarkable volunteers who have dedicated 25 years of service to the San.

In 2025 alone, our volunteer team generously contributed an extraordinary 31,271 hours.

We are so grateful to our volunteer team for the care, kindness and support they bring to our hospital community every day.
