Hello Visitor!
A warm welcome to Tembusu Connect.
What is Tembusu Connect?
Going through a medical illness is difficult. Sometimes, you may wonder if anyone understands what it feels like. You may be a patient going through a challenging time in coping with your medical condition, or a caregiver trying your best to juggle all the care plans and responsibilities.
Tembusu Connect is a website that is specially created for you and your loved ones to provide emotional support and information during your care journey with us. We hope you will find some encouragement and comfort from the resources available here.
Why Tembusu?
You may recognize the heritage Tembusu tree which can be found in our Botanic Gardens. It is also the tree featured on our $5 note and is more than 180 years old. The Tembusu tree is hardy and resilient, provides shelter and fosters a sense of community. Similarly, we hope that from the resources on Tembusu Connect, you will find strength, resilience and community.
Sincerely
Dr Natalie Woong
