The Hush Foundation Celebrates and
Elevates Kindness in Healthcare

Kindness Saves Lives

 

Join us for Kindness Works Here Week from November 11 - 15 (incorporating Gathering of Kindness)

 

This is our chance to spread kindness across all areas of healthcare, and we need YOU to help us make it amazing.

 

We’ve made it easy, and fun! There’s something for everyone - from community members, to individual healthcare professionals, to healthcare teams and organisations - from hospitals to general practice, community health, aged care, emergency services, mental health, allied health. Anyone can be a Kindness Champion, or a #Kindness Works Here team or organisation. Find out more and register here.

"Healthcare on the planet is blessed with some pioneers. People who see farther and sooner

than others do. Professor Catherine Crock is

one of those pioneers… Now, the challenge

is… are there leaders smart enough to use

it [the Hush Foundation’s work]?”

Professor Catherine Crock AM

"We work with artists, patients, health and

care staff to recapture the healing power

of kindness through music, the arts, education 

and connecting people. I believe

healthcare needs creative voices to

help soften the edges of these stressful

environments for people - they can help

all of us in the care business to do our

jobs even better".
