Hospice Plett Newsletter 27 September 2021
Hospice Plett Newsletter covers information and updates regarding Plett Volunteers, Feeding, Schemes, Eden Grow, and Covid-19.
Message from the Board of Hospice Plett:
We are so excited to introduce the new and improved Hospice Plett newsletter to keep you, our loyal supporters, up to date with our latest stories of hope, your impact on our organisation, and what’s coming up on the calendar. We hope you enjoy this little window into our busy world and share in our triumphs and trials! Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or pass this email on to friends and family!
The team at Hospice Plett has grown significantly over the past 3 years. Our reach is greater than ever, and we are seeing more and more people through our Community Wellness and Palliative Care programmes. With this growth in operational staff, comes the need for increased support at an administration level.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce our new Assistant GM, Russel Braum. Russel has spent the bulk of his career managing various Food & Beverage operations in hotels and restaurants. He has managed the opening of several high-profile restaurants, including The Big Easy in the Durban Hilton, and the hugely successful Chefs Table Restaurant in Umhlanga.
With his experience in the multifaceted nature of hospitality management, website development, and online marketing, Russel jumped in feet first and has already had a huge impact on how the admin support department operates and enable our nurses, community health carers, and counsellors to provide quality service to the Bitou community. I am confident that Russel is the right person to help propel Hospice Plett onward and upward.
WELCOME Russel!
