Josie Ashmore: My name's Josie Ashmore, and I've been around Ballarat for a long time. I feel very honored, that I've been nominated to have a crane named after me. I don't feel like I deserve it, but I do feel very honored.

Josie Ashmore: So they can walk around the ward, go down for a coffee if they're that well. I think I've probably made about 2000 over the years. About 10 or 12 years ago, I had some major abdominal surgery myself, my way of quietly, giving back to the wound care team for all the help they gave me. Well, I mean, I know I went through a rough run and I can imagine what a lot of people go through as well.

Wasek’s video
[Images: Associate Professor Wasek Faisal, Medical oncology and research lead, Grampians Health talks to camera; footage of Wasek viewing the hospital construction site]
Wasek Faisal: My name is Wasek Faisal. My patients call me Wasek. I would've never thought in a million years that I would have a crane named after me. The initial emotion that ran through my head was disbelief. I honestly did not think that I would be worthy of such an honour. That followed by the feeling of being incredibly grateful and humbled by this gesture.
[Images: Footage of the construction work; Ben Kelly, Chief Operating Officer, Grampians Health talks to camera]
Ben Kelly: With a major redevelopment underway and the novel opportunity is to name those cranes uh, after people who have made a significant contribution to our community and to our organisation.
[Images: a montage of footage of Wasek working in the hospital and interacting with patients; Wasek talks to camera]
Wasek: I've always wanted to do medical oncology. I wanted to be able to look after the patient rather than just look after their disease condition. And oncology allows you to do that. It's very rewarding to be able to look after them during a very difficult time of their life.
[Images: Ben Kelly, Chief Operating Officer, Grampians Health talks to camera; Wasek interacts with patients in front of the hospital]
Ben: Wasek Faisal leads our oncology based clinical trials. We want, uh, him to receive the accolades that he deserves because he's make a real difference in real people's lives.

Wasek: I realised that this is a recognition of what I might have achieved in my time here, but I could not have done it without the help and support of my colleagues and the team that I work with and work for.

Grant and Ashton's video
[Images: Brothers Grant Monks, Switchboard Operator Grampians Health and Ashton Kline, Nurse and Educator Grampians Health, speak to camera; montage of footage of Grant and Ashton walking throughout the hospital and footage of the construction site]
Ashton Kline: Grant and I were, uh, nominated, um, to have our names, uh, on a crane as part of the redevelopment project.
Grant Monks: I'm not sure how I feel about it, but it's pretty, pretty interesting and I'm, I'm excited.
Ashton: And I hope that when they look up at that crane and see Grant and Ashton they remember that from the rubble that is out there at the moment, you can build something really fantastic and really beautiful.
[Images: Leanne Shea, Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, Grampians Health speaks to camera; footage of Grant and Ashton throughout the hospital]
Leanne Shea: Grant and Ashton are brothers who through fairly significant family violence, have become very strong advocates for victims survivors and both very deserving of this naming and recognition because of what they've been through, but how they continue to live life and contribute to the organisation in which they work.
[Images: Grant and Ashton speak to camera; footage of Grant and Ashton working in the hospital]
Grant: I work in switchboard at Grampians Health. I think I really enjoy just being able to help people and make people feel welcomed, feeling connected and having a sense of community is a really important thing.
Ashton: I'm a registered nurse and I'm also a clinical nurse educator here at Grampians Health.
Grant: Well, I think building a new hospital, I think it's good for just everybody in the community because having more facilities close to home, um, it just makes that, you know, it makes living with illness a little bit easier. I was born with kidney disease and so my kidneys don't work. When I was about six years old, my mum passed away and she was planning on giving me a kidney, that didn't happen, and so I had to start on dialysis.
Ashton: So from the age of 15 went into kind of carer mode and Grant was only six at the time.
Grant: Family's really important as well, so he's had a lot of sacrifices for me while he is been looking after me over the years, and it's nice to have someone by my side that I can count on.
Ashton: It's really meaningful for me, and, and as part of that journey, we've been, each other's rock through everything and, and we're still going, which is super important.
