Meet John: Proud member of The Common Good

In Memory of John Munckton, who passed away March 2023

As a past patient of The Prince Charles Hospital (TPCH), John knows firsthand the importance of exceptional treatment and life-saving care. In 2018, John underwent heart valve and bypass surgery at TPCH.

John was able to live his life to its fullest, often cheering on his beloved AFL team, the Melbourne Football Club.

To show his appreciation of the wonderful care received at The Prince Charles Hospital, John reached out to The Common Good, and so generously gave one of the largest single gifts ever to the Foundation.

The Common Good would sincerely like to recognise and thank John for his momentous generosity. His contribution will go on to sustain an incredible amount of research into heart disease which will no doubt save more lives like John’s.
