Message from the
Chair, Loddon Mallee Health Network I am really pleased to see this new publication, over time I hope it will become the go to for regional news regarding our collaborative efforts for improving health services throughout the Loddon Mallee. It is our intent to combine a number of existing publications into one regional newsletter including the Loddon Mallee Shared Services and Loddon Mallee Health Network as well as the Loddon Mallee Public Health Unit and associated functions. I hope you enjoy having less emails and hope this regional review evolves into something you look out for in your inbox each quarter. The Loddon Mallee Health Network was the vision of a number of passionate, patient-focussed health service CEOs throughout the Loddon Mallee who were driven by the possibilities created by working together more formally - we knew we would be better together. We took a risk and went for it. Following the appointment of a General Manager we created our governance structure that was designed to deliver on our shared vision. When we first agreed to develop a Joint Venture Agreement and progress our collective efforts into something more formal, we were not aware of the impending disruption in the form of a global pandemic, a more immediate threat to our communities at that time was the risk of fires. Since we first agreed on our Vision, Values and Strategy the value of collaboration has been very clear, not just within our region but throughout the entire State. COVID positive pathways, streaming
Thank you to all of you for believing in this shared effort and for continuing to work together in the face of so much uncertainty and your own local challenges.
