Rural Northwest Health CEO Jenni Masters met with the families of young children last week to discuss the services they would like to see available at the health service.
Meeting with Warracknabeal Playgroup families, Jenni’s visit was part of a Partnering with Consumers framework the organisation is developing to discover how it can better-service its communities.
“We are committed to our communities and, as a public health service, are there to serve them,” Jenni said.
“By seeking the community’s valuable input around the kinds of services they would like to see made available we hope to be able to tailor our service provision, partner with other organisations to develop clear pathways, reduce the need to travel to access services, and give our communities a sense of ownership over their health service,” she said.
Visiting the playgroup during their special monthly activity, this month being a visit from Squatter Coffey and his ponies, Jenni said she appreciated the warm welcome she received from the families attending and gained valuable insights into what kinds of services the young families would like to access.
“We were very grateful to Jenni for taking the time to meet with us and look forward to any services RNH can provide to young families,” Warracknabeal Playgroup President Natalie Hewitt said.
