For Brittany Carver, International Nurses Day holds special significance, and not just because she is a Personal Care Assistant herself.
The Resthaven Paradise worker is also a relative of Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel, the Australian nurse who was the sole survivor of the Bangka Island massacre, which took place on 16 February 1942, shortly after the outbreak of war in the Pacific. Vivian was Brittany’s great-grandfather’s cousin.
International Nurses Day is held each year on May 12, a global day of celebration marking the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. Like the famous nursing pioneer, Carinity nurses are selfless and dedicated to supporting people in need in their communities.
Always one to have his ear to the ground, Resthaven Aberfoyle Park resident Mr Lloyd Mattner, 92, has special inside knowledge when it comes to the solar installation on the roof of the aged care home.
His grandson, Chris Mattner, is the CEO of CME Solutions, the company that was awarded the project, alongside Suntrix and sustainability consultant, Dsquared Consulting. CME Solutions has grown from WM Electrical, the company that was started by Lloyd’s son, Wayne, in 1985.
