We are pleased to announce Terry Sparrow was awarded a Life Governorship at the Heywood Rural Health AGM held on Friday 22 November.
The Life Governor Award is conferred upon those who have made remarkable contributions to Heywood Rural Health, and there is no one more deserving of this honour than Terry.
For the past 37 years, Terry has been a beacon of commitment and compassion within our organisation. His unwavering dedication is evident in his numerous volunteer roles, one of which is serving as a driver for our Meals on Wheels program.
Terry’s contributions extend far beyond the Meals of Wheels vital program. He is a current independent member of Heywood Rural Health’s Asset Management Committee and has served on the Consumer Advisory Committee in the past.
As the current President of the Heywood Men’s Shed, you will find Terry actively involved in various tasks around our hospital, from gardening and washing windows to building furniture and maintaining our grounds.
He routinely hosts monthly barbecues for residents, organises “Eating with Friends” lunches for community members, and even whips up pancakes for our dedicated staff.
He engages with our residents through activities like woodworking and card games, fostering meaningful interactions and building resources like wooden games and garden beds.
His kindness and ability to enhance the lives of others shine through in every endeavour he undertakes.
His remarkable dedication to helping others has earned him a well-deserved spot in the Volunteer “Hall of Fame,” recognised by the Department of Health at the Victorian Public Healthcare Awards in Melbourne on 19 November 2024. This acknowledgment is a testament to his unwavering commitment and outstanding service to the community.
Congratulations Terry from everyone at Heywood Rural Health.
