Dr Anne Day, Wesley Breast Clinic and Maureen
There were scones, tea and a room full of smiles at The Wesley Breast Clinic last year. We gathered to say thank you to Maureen Stevenson — a woman whose generosity is already changing lives.
Maureen chose to make two gifts that will transform breast cancer care for Queensland women. Her support means we can equip more mammography machines with advanced imaging systems, giving every woman who walks through our doors access to the clearest, most accurate screening possible.
She’s also created something beautifully personal: The Maureen Stevenson Patient Education Initiative. iPads loaded with simple, visual tools that nurses can use to help women understand their diagnosis and treatment. No medical jargon, no confusion, just clear gentle guidance when it matters most.
“I wanted to help women feel less frightened,” Maureen told us over tea. “When you understand what’s happening, you feel more in control.”
Each iPad will carry Maureen’s name — a quiet reminder that someone cared enough to help ease the fear that comes with a breast cancer diagnosis.
