Security / Education Assistant
You may have seen this shady character hanging around the clinic for a few years now. Slim, as we have affectionately named our resident skeleton, took up lodging at Blackwood Village Health (BVH) in 2015.
Slim mostly resides in the corner at reception, keeping a watchful eye on the daily comings and goings … that’s until there’s an occasion to celebrate, and then out comes some celebratory costume. Slim is a true exhibitionist at heart!
So, who is this chalky collection of bones who hangs out with us?
