QMWS100: Counting Down to 100 years

The QMWS100 centennial working group made significant strides at our September meeting, welcoming Dr. Zelle Hodge and Jane Connolly, who contributed invaluable expertise toward plans for a commemorative book and quilt celebrating medical women’s achievements. Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 1 October 2024, at 1 pm in the Emeritus Professor Mary Mahoney Boardroom, Herston Mayne Medical School. All interested members are encouraged to join the preparations for the QMWS centennial celebration by contacting the QMWS100 subcommittee at [email protected].
