A wonderful day was had by guests, staff and consumers who attended the 60th birthday celebrations of Macquarie Hospital.

More than 100 people turned out for the festivities which involved a service in the chapel, led by consumers who gave readings, lit candles and sang hymns.

Special guests included former Governor of NSW, Professor Marie Bashir, Alzheimer’s Australia NSW Chief Executive John Watkins (AM) as well as NSLHD Chief Executive Deb Willcox.

A newly landscaped tranquillity garden was unveiled where people can sit and enjoy a quiet moment while on the campus.
