Mallee Track Health and Community Service is developing its next five-year strategic plan (2017 to 2021).
Feedback from the community will be critical to develop the big picture plan for the region’s future health goals and challenges.
MTHCS has appointed consulting firm Healthcare Management Advisors to develop surveys (hard copy and online). These will be available throughout the catchment in waiting rooms and other points of care at MTHCS (both paper-based and online using IPads).
This is your chance to guide planning for health services in the region and how they are delivered.
How can you help?
Be sure to have your say on the key issues under consideration for the Strategic Plan, such as:
Surrounding hospitals and health services and local government.
Telehealth: What do you know about it? Could this benefit our region?
Chronic disease and health issues – What support is available? What is needed?
Services that need to be delivered closer to home.
The survey will be out soon. Like our Facebook Page (search Mallee Track) to find out about opportunities to have a say, visit our website or get in touch with Shirley Vallance at MTHCS.
