On Tuesday 7th November, Mike Jameson, Chair of Birmingham IA, presented an oil painting of the late Mary Cotterill, a retired SCN who worked tirelessly in the interests of Birmingham IA members and stoma and Internal Pouch patients in general, to staff at the Ruth Astles Centre, Heartlands Hospital.
Mary’s vision led to the creation of the Ruth Astles Centre at Heartlands Hospital, a facility which is still valued today by patients and nursing staff. Ruth Astles was Mary’s patient and bequeathed the funding for the unit, and Mary managed the project of building the stoma unit from start to finish.
Mike presented the oil painting to Richie Asilo, Yetunde Fadipe, Karen Entwistle and Emma Astley-Hill. It will be hung alongside the existing oil painting of Ruth Astles. Birmingham IA are delighted that Mary will be honoured in this way at the stoma unit which she created.
