St John of God Subiaco Hospital Director of Mission Integration Jennifer Healey commented that Shrove Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, when Catholics would feast on eggs, sugar and dairy which were restricted during Lent.

“In addition to recognising Catholic traditions, events such as these provide members of the hospital’s executive team the opportunity to serve our caregivers and personally thank them for the compassionate care and services they deliver to the community every day.”

Members of the executive served the pancakes to caregivers at the hospital’s main entrance as they came to work in the morning or were leaving after a night shift.

Coffee was made and poured by local coffee van Gingernut Coffee.
