Monash Medical Centre celebrates 30 years

Dr Chris Pappas

Meet Dr Chris Pappas, Consultant Paediatrician at Monash Children’s Hospital and Senior Paediatrics Lecturer at Monash University.

Dr Pappas started working in paediatrics at Monash Medical Centre in 1987, when the Queen Victoria Medical Centre, Prince Henry’s Hospital and Moorabbin Hospital merged to become one health service.

Dr Pappas said he was very keen to be part of the merge and work on the expansion of paediatric services in Victoria’s south east.

“The clinical case-load became varied, interesting, challenging: perfect for a young Paediatric Clinician at the start of his career,” he said.

“The opening of the new Monash Children’s Hospital this year, co-located next to Monash Medical Centre epitomises the changes over the last 30 years.”

“Monash Medical Centre has been able to develop world class clinical care, research and teaching across many sites and disciplines, with the Monash Children’s Hospital being the most recent example of this evolution.”

Dr Pappas said Monash Children’s Hospital’s Foundation Professor, Arthur Clark inspired him throughout his career as a clinician and teacher. Professor Clark has been a great role model to a generation of paediatricians.

This Thursday 14 September, we will celebrate 30 years since the opening of Monash Medical Centre.
