Message from the CEO
The punctuation of 2021
Another 12 months has passed and we approach our second Christmas with Covid as an unwelcome guest in our midst. I had so hoped that we would end this year with a full stop and that 2022 would be a new chapter but it seems that we are to end 2021 with a semi- colon, with the knowledge that there is more to follow in this particular chapter of our lives.
It is inevitable at year end that one tends to reflect on the year that is about to pass and it has certainly been a year where our humanity has been challenged at every level. Dwelling on those challenges in any manner other than as a tool to guide us in 2022 is fruitless. Instead, we celebrate the victories: we celebrate the medical expertise in our country that has made it possible for us to look forward with optimism, we celebrate the heroes who put the safety and care of others above their own, reaching out to those less fortunate in their communities and making a difference on a day to day basis, we celebrate those moments when we responded in a manner that was the best version of who we should be.
As we approach Christmas and everything it brings, may we put aside our differences and work together to ensure that 2022 is a year of community. Together we are able to do so much more. Let’s start the journey of renewal.
Blessings to you at Christmas – please keep safe.
