Ep 47: Growth and Passion

Lorna Cook, a dynamic powerhouse of networking and marketing energy and Julie Adams, a bohemian free spirit who likes to challenge the status quo in healthcare,  founded chemo@home in 2013.

In this episode Lorna shares the story of the passion and commitment that finally resulted in making significant inroads into the delivery of Chemo and Immuno therapy at home (as opposed to hospitals.) 

Since 2013, the company has gone from strength to strength. Patient referrals in metropolitan Western Australia have continued to increase every year, expansion into metro South Australia has occurred and continued growth into other Australian states and territories as well as rural and regional areas is well underway.

The amazing achievements of chemo@home have been widely recognised, with the company winning nine business awards, including Julie being named the 2016 Telstra WA Business Women’s of the Year. An incredible accomplishment for any business.

The company continues to grow and thrive and continues to challenge the whole perception of cancer treatment in Australia despite the obstacles and prejudices before them”.

They are the perfect YIn and Yang; each complementing the others personality traits and talents.

Julie and Lorna are very passionate about the future of chemo@home. With a strong desire to grow the company across Australia and beyond, their aim of providing true patient centred care to cancer and chronic disease patients and their families will be achieved.
