Hear From Our People

Anthony Tan Hee Boon 
As an OT who transitioned from another hospital to IMH, I can confidently say this move has been one of the most fulfilling and professionally enriching decisions of my career. I immediately felt welcomed and supported by the department, thanks to their friendliness and helpfulness. Despite the steep learning curve, the unwavering support and guidance from my team have made it possible for me to steadily develop new skills and knowledge. Having experienced these incredible opportunities and growth, I wholeheartedly encourage any OT with a passion for mental health and a desire to make a meaningful impact to join me. Together, we can elevate holistic menta​l health care to new heights and transform lives in powerful ways.

The team’s dedication to making a difference in the lives of our clients inspires me daily, and their encouragement helps me stay grounded even during challenging times.

Working for the IMH OT Department has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The team is really committed to delivering excellence in their patient care, and this is evident in the support they provide to their staff to excel in their profession.

I feel grateful for being empowered to help patients on their recovery journey from mental illness, whether it’s meeting them on the hospital acute wards, in their homes or in nursing home settings. I enjoy the variety the job provides through the people I meet, from different professions and from all walks of life.

I would recommend the IMH OT Department for anyone seeking a collaborative, dynamic and rewarding career in the healthcare setting.
