June 26, 2024
Central Queenslanders will be running, walking or skipping for a good cause on August 18, with CQ Shines Hospital Foundation announced as the community beneficiary for Gladstone Ports Corporation’s (GPC) Port to Park fun run.
CQ Shines will receive $80,000 to acquire a Teladoc telehealth system for Gladstone Hospital—an innovative technology enabling surgeons around the world to virtually assist our local medical teams in real-time.
The system will dramatically improve surgical outcomes, reduce some of the need for patient travel and provide immediate assistance during critical situations.
The Teladoc telehealth system will not only enhance the quality of medical services for locals, but will improve healthcare accessibility for everyone.
GPC is proud to support such an exciting initiative that will help so many people in our region.

“We are incredibly grateful to Gladstone Ports Corporation for selecting CQ Shines Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary of the Port to Park 2024,” Ms Mitchell said.
“This innovative technology brings national surgeons virtually to our local medical teams in real-time, significantly improving surgical outcomes and potentially saving lives.”
