Jaki LGlad to know that those waits aren't experienced by all! The best we can do is try to work together so everyone benefits - the hard-working staff at both hospitals no less than the patients. There is no criticism of CH staff from me! I cant even imagine how difficult it must be to do such a tricky job under all that extra pressure that we hear about so often.
TERRIE S
Terrie Sthere are too many hospitals closing and too many hospital cuts!! then we see on the news that N.S.W, are the worst hoapitals in Australia for waiting lists & mistakes happening!!! well its no wonder when this is allowed to happen. something needs to shake this government up
JULIET T
Juliet TAmen to that....remember Vince Lovell, he used to accompany Dr Hewitt on his rounds looking at the trees, after the rounds at the hospital were completed, they did this often.
I'm sure my husband and I somehow ended up with a whole lot of slides of those trees etc taken over the years.....they are in a cupboard somewhere, how sad that they were not valued more highly....
However, they are valued for ever more by all those who know and love Bellingen, once seen, loved forever...xxx
Juliet TCongratulations, I lived in Bellingen then and my daughter was born the next year....
Remember Vince ran the Cinema when it was one, and also the Historical Society...I took a group of seniors there in the mid 90's and Vince was there telling his priceless tales....
How easily people pass from the minds of the still living....
Memory is a wonderful thing...
JAKI L
Jaki LI believe that Bellingen Shire's population is 12500 give or take, but as Richard says, there are many more out there who have left, and many of these return on visits or more permanently, and still use and value the hospital. Lets keep it that way!
PETER C
Peter CBorn there.....worked there........still a great little hospital! Great memories of this place, and I still visit there for work from time to time

PIP W
PIP W Dr George Hewitt was the doctor of the Bellingen Shire, and for much of his 60 years of practice there the only one. Two of his claims to fame are that he delivered the Sara Quadruplets August 17-19, 1950 at Bellingen Hospital, and he is also responsible for many of the grand trees around Bellingen, because he was a keen amateur botanist. Thanks to him, Bellingen Hospital has a wonderful garden featuring trees from many parts of the world. It was my pleasure to stroll around the hospital grounds and take some shots. Dr Hewitt, who started in the days of horseback doctoring, was still practising when I first moved to Bellingen in the mid-1970s. I think he's a real hero.

Solveig L i live in bellingen, and cannot stress enough the value of this hospital.. Everyone I speak to has remakable storied to tell of lives being saved, babies being boen, the incredible atmosphere of family, community and caring nursing and medical satff there. One memorable quote made to me was "that it was a hospital where people got better". Sounds simplistic, but it is true.. One receives one on one care at Bello that in my opinion money cannot buy. Because the X factor is implicit here. It is called genuine old fashioned love and care.. a rarity these days to be found anywhere, no matter how much money you have.. There is community support...
LANA A
Lana Awow that's a pretty big walk. I'm so grateful things have changed for the better. I was born in this hospital and so was my mum and brother and some of my school mates work there so I also have some history with the hospital as most locals would.
