Vale Heather Wright Heather Wright, registered nurse and midwife of Peninsula Private Hospital since the early 1980s, has died aged 69 years. Heather was a very proud Alfred Hospital trained nurse. She commenced employment at Peninsula Private in Frankston in the early 1980s and progressed from ward nurse to unit manager. She was instrumental in the development and design of the new Post Anaesthetic Care Unit (PACU), built at the hospital in 1999. Her dedication, enthusiasm and foresight is evident in the current PACU, as numerous visiting health professionals comment on the excellent, seamless design. Heather was a natural leader, uncompromising, always putting patient care above all else, and therefore earning the respect and regard of all her colleagues. Heather was a consummate professional, fun-loving, loyal and generous person who led by example. A very special lady, a much loved colleague and friend. She will be greatly missed by all of her friends at Peninsula Private Hospital. Know someone in nursing who deserves an award?
