Harvey and Collie residents invited to participate in South West health service planning workshops

The WA Country Health Service (WACHS) is continuing its series of community district planning workshops in the South West and is calling on the residents of Harvey and Collie to help guide the future of health services in their area.

According to WACHS South West Regional Director Kerry Winsor, the workshops form part of the organisation’s ongoing commitment to ensuring regional hospitals and health services meet community need now and into the future.

“We’re committed to continuous improvement and regular engagement with the community on what they believe we’re doing well and where they see opportunity for positive change,” Ms Winsor said.

“The community should be excited by this opportunity to help us ensure facilities in the Wellington district are supporting them to be as healthy as they can be.”

Ms Winsor said as part of our routine planning activity, it’s expected the information gathered from the workshops will help inform future regional and South West district service plans.

“Our patients are at the centre of everything that we do, including service design,” she said.

“While we’re proud of our existing services, we want to build on those to continue providing the South West region with hospitals and health services that improve patient outcomes and experiences and give consumers more options.”

Collie residents are invited to attend the workshop being held Friday 23 July, 10.00am to 1.00pm, at Roche Park Recreation Centre, Collie.

Harvey residents are invited to attend the workshop being held Wednesday 18 August, 10.00am to 1.00pm, at the Harvey Recreation and Cultural Centre, Harvey.
