Linda Goltz
Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (10:40): A true treasure to the Bass Coast community, thank you, Linda Goltz, for 38 years of extraordinary service. Trained at the Royal Melbourne, then off to the Queen Vic, out to Monash Clayton and on to Wonthaggi – a midwife working also in the surgical ward – being multiskilled in country hospitals paramount. From welcoming new life to supporting the elderly, leading emergency care and transforming services, Linda’s career radiates compassion, skill and a passion for learning. ‘Knowledge makes you versatile’ – wise counsel no doubt etched on a wall somewhere. A positive change catalyst, Linda transformed Armitage House into a rehab unit, led maternity and maternal and child health teams, guided the ED through COVID and headed urgent care in Cowes. Thank you, Linda, for your extraordinary service. We are thrilled you will continue to share your expertise at the community hospital while enjoying your love for spinning and weaving.
