The Alfred Patrons Program launched this year as part of our 150th anniversary celebrations. It honours Alfred Health’s most significant supporters, celebrating their commitment and aims to create a long-term legacy of philanthropy.
Appointment as an Alfred Patron is the highest honour that Alfred Health can bestow upon a member of the community who has made enormous contributions and who has consistently and steadfastly demonstrated their support for Alfred Health.
The next patrons we wish to introduce are Mr Neville Bertalli and Mrs Diana Bertalli.
Neville and Di Bertalli have a longstanding interest in supporting rural and regional Australia, especially through educational scholarships and intervention programs.
They know first-hand the devastating impacts of melanoma and began donating to The Alfred Victorian Melanoma Service 15 years ago, to develop a translational database.
This data has enabled research to answer many questions about melanoma susceptibility, detection, progression and treatment and the results have seen great advances in tackling this disease.
Continuing their passionate support of melanoma treatment and research, they have made an outstanding investment in the new melanoma and cancer centre.
