Whitsunday community celebrates a milestone

Memories of yesteryear came to life yesterday afternoon as the angels in blue celebrated 40 years of community care.
The Blue Care Proserpine Community Centre, established in 1972, has had a fascinating history through the last four decades and some of the former registered nurses told their stories at the anniversary event yesterday afternoon.
Prominent locals Doreen Wesley and Lillian Orr remember their days as relieving staff at Blue Care, while current director of nursing Sue Collins praises the former nurses achievements over the last four decades.
"They have made the most significant impact on Blue Care over the years," Ms Collins said.
"They set up the plans for the building and basically formed this to place to what it is today."
Blue Care employs 20 staff who deliver care services to  more than 170 clients.
