Mimi Wilson

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Roads, and Minister for Regional Transport)—Congratulations to Mrs Remedios "Mimi" Wilson, who will be retiring in June after dedicating 40 years of nursing and caring for the residents of Maitland and surrounding communities. Mimi arrived in Australia from the Philippines in the early 1980s, having trained as a nurse overseas. She began her work here as a surgical nurse and went on to become a highly respected wound care specialist. Mimi's colleagues regard her as a shining example of clinical excellence and compassionate care. She has played a vital role in mentoring and guiding generations of nurses, doctors, and medical students at Maitland Hospital - shaping the future of public health in the Hunter. Recently, Mimi's friends, family and long-time colleagues gathered to celebrate her long list of career achievements. Mimi recently stepped back from work to care for her family in the Philippines. Mimi leaves behind a legacy of care that will not be forgotten, thank you Mimi.
