Lee spoke with Frances during a short break in his shift as a stores officer at a local hospital. Lee shares the important role health care workers like him play in ensuring doctors, nurses, allied health and pharmacy have everything they need to provide safe quality care. Lee opens up about his own cancer journey, how he came to work in health, and how we should never feel afraid to connect with someone who looks like they are having a hard time.
