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.
Dementia Action Week 2023 runs from the 18th to the 24th of September: Dementia Australia is encouraging people to ‘act now for a dementia-friendly future’.
Some of the sickest patients in The Prince Charles Hospital’s thoracic ward can now look up and let their minds wander into nature, following the installation of Healing Ceilings.
Bill Van Nierop is incredibly grateful for the life-saving transplant he received. In this blog, we share more about Bill’s life and challenges he’s experienced after transplant.
