Steve is well liked around the hospital for his friendly and cheerful manner, and his great approach to getting things done with the minimum of fuss.

Steve always goes that extra mile to help out, completing small tasks as he passes without people recognising that he's done them. 

Steve doesn’t “do” sitting around or standing still, and he is a great asset to the Wairarapa Hospital team.

Thanks Steve, for all you do. Enjoy your well deserved voucher!
