Step
back in
time We’ve been doing a bit of digging in the
archives to find out more about the history
of Blacktown Hospital, and we’ve come a
long way since 1965.
Thanks to Peter Zelas Library manager
Kathleen McMillan for her help to unearth
some gems from the past.
Front page
Peter Zelas Library manager Kathleen with the first annual report from 1966.
According to media reports, “in the late 1940s getting hospital treatment was difficult because the hospital site was still pastoral land”. A public meeting was held in 1956 to discuss the need for a hospital.
The original hospital building entry in 1967. It was located where Building C is now.
A newspaper clipping of nursing unit manager Margrit Fleck outside the “new” birthing centre in 1991. The building is now the ACAT/TACP service, located next to the Admin/Regional Dialysis Centre Building.

Jenny clocks up a
major milestone
We celebrated FF&E queen Jenny’s 60th birthday this week with
lunch, flowers and cake (of course).
After 45 years in nursing (seven of them with the project team),
she’s practically a hospital fixture herself. Jenny is celebrating
with some hard-earned time off, enjoying a comedy cruise
holiday.
Jenny said the highlight of her long career has been spending
time with people at the critical time in their life.
“Being with people at a time of birth and death, during their
recovery - when they are most fragile - has been a privilege,”
Jenny said.
“I’ve also loved the management side of nursing, and the project
work.
“It’s satisfying knowing you are making a difference for the
future. People may not be able to see it straight away, but you
know the work you're doing now will benefit them long after
the project is over.” Saying it with flowers - we love you, Jenny!
Jenny with her fan club - the BMDH Project team
It wouldn’t be Blacktown without cake

Spotlight on: ICU
Level 5 of the new building is for intensive care. At the entry, a comfortable
waiting area, colourful murals and a bright reception make families and friends
feel welcome. Inside, patients, visitors and staff have access to an outdoor
terrace, and all the patient rooms have district or courtyard views.
On level 5, Annelise Rees’ distinctive lift lobby murals feature life in the oceans
