CARE
Values
in Action
By Whakatāne Hospital
Co-ordinator Julie Chapman.
Two teams from Whakatāne
Hospital recently competed
in the local Business House
Triathlon held at Port Ohope.
Peri-operative team (Jenny
Hicks and Lisa Rogers +
friend); and Whakatāne Acute
Patient flow team - Dave Van
Dijk, Jill Cunningham, and
Julie Chapman.
Teams completed a 400m swim, 12km
bike and 2.5km run.
We may not have not have taken out
top placings on the day, but we worked
together, supported each other and
crossed the finish line.
Compassion - support for one and another
to keep going and great empathy for other
teams. All one team - a cross section of
staff made up our teams.
Responsive - we responded to the call to
enter the event and just had a go.
Excellence - We completed the event in
a fit and healthy state with no injuries and
generally had a great time.
