HEALTH ACHIEVEMENT: Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund board member Di Thomas, Albury Wodonga Health chief operating officer Emma Poland and surgeon Queenie Chan.

Dr Chan said reconstructive surgery remained integral to the cancer journey.

“Without the reconstruction, a lot of these patients are not able to move past their cancer experience and get on with
their lives,” she said.

Acquisition of the reconstructive equipment has also helped AWH secure Dr Chan’s services.

REAL NEED: Dr Queenie Chan says she already has patients asking about reconstructive surgery in Albury.
