Consumer advocates from across the Murrumbidgee Local Health District will meet in Corowa this week at the 2024 September LHAC Forum.
The forum is held twice each year for Local Health Advisory Committee (LHAC) members to come together to discuss health issues and ideas and share their initiatives with the health service leaders from the Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) and the Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN).
The theme for this forum is Access and Equity for Regional Communities and is an opportunity to explore ways to work together to create a sustainable, equitable and integrated health system that delivers outcomes that matter most to patients and the community in our region.
The forum provides an opportunity to listen to community voices for insight into access and equity and effectively advocate for better health outcomes and contribute to lifting health outcomes in our region.
LHAC will hear from MPHN Chief Executive Officer Stewart Gordon, and MLHD Chief Executive Jill Ludford, and have the opportunity to engage with members of the organisations' executive teams.
Nigel Smith, MLHD Services Coordinator Mental Health Drug and Alcohol for Aboriginal People, will present on Access and Equity in Aboriginal Mental Health.
Around 80 delegates will attend the 2024 September LHAC Forum which will be held in Corowa on Friday 6 September 2024.
