Wonthaggi’s support for Medical Research

 

Dr Sharyn Fitzgerald, ASPREE Regional Manager, visited her home town Wonthaggi at a study update today.

Wonthaggi, a small hamlet in South Gippsland, has one of the highest participation rates in Australia, much to Sharyn’s immense pride.

It was a delight to share a cuppa with so many local ASPREE participants and guests.
