Graham Slade – Founder of Slade Health and Slade Pharmacy was awarded an AM in the Queen’s Birthday Honours earlier this month for ‘significant service to the community as a supporter of aged care, medical and multicultural associations and to the pharmacy profession.’
Since founding Slade Pharmacy more than 50 years ago, Graham has been a significant contributer to the development of the aged-care and private hospital pharmacy industry alongside his wider community involvement.
Graham was humbled to be recognised and said “while I am surprised to be awarded the AM I am very proud not only for myself but for my family that our work has been recognised by our country. As much as it will bring joy to my family, I have taken a little time to think how proud my late mother would have been, to be able to share this special time with us.”
