Congratulations to Bethlehem AM recipient Susan Mathers!

28 January 2025 

Heartfelt congratulations to our hugely talented and passionate Clinical Director of Neurology, Associate Professor Susan Mathers, who was this weekend awarded a Member of the Order of Australia at this year’s Australia Day honours.

Susan received the award for her “Significant service to medicine as a clinician, and to neurological research”.

Well done Susan! We have seen the work that she has put in for many years in initiatives with clinicians and researchers across the country trying to consolidate the work being done in search of a cure and better care for those with a progressive neurological disease. At Calvary Health Care Bethlehem we see first-hand her work as Director of Neurology caring for patients and their families as well as her role mentoring staff. Susan has promoted the integration of research involvement with clinical care for patients with neurodegenerative diseases – reflecting what people living with these diseases tell us that they need.

CONGRATULATIONS
