Last week, staff at the hospital were delivered a delicious lunch prepared by Flics Kitchen featuring Exmouth prawns and roasted vegetable salads.

Peel Health Campus chief executive officer, Andrew Tome, said he was proud of hospital staff who had been caring for people throughout the public health crisis.
"I always have praise for our dedicated staff, but this month has been particularly challenging," he said.
"This is a small gesture of thanks to our staff - many of who have worked tirelessly during the past four or five weeks.
"With Easter getaways prohibited because of COVID-19, we wanted to show them how much we appreciate their hard work.
"Peel Health Campus is the number one employer in the Mandurah area and the second biggest employer in the Peel region. We are an integral part of this vibrant community and we want to support local residents and businesses in any way we can - above and beyond providing quality health care services."
Flics Kitchen co-owner and chef, Flic Evans, said the order from Peel Health Campus was a much-needed financial boost for the business.
"This order is a God send for us at the moment - it's massive," she said.
"Business has dropped by 60 per cent and we have had to completely remodel the way we operate. Things are so tight that we need to re-evaluate viability every few days.
"We are so grateful for the business from Peel Health Campus but also we're proud to be creating something special for their staff.
"We have always focused on local, seasonal and Western Australian produce so this initiative is actually helping our farmers and producers as well."
