Congratulations swim for life crew and everyone who helped support us!!! Hard work can pay off. 👏👏👏
On Friday the 22nd of November, the Hon Jenny Mikakos Minister for Health Services & Minister for Ambulance Services, along with Jordan Crugnale MP for Bass joined B*H to OFFICIALLY OPEN THE NEW 24-HOUR URGENT CARE CENTRE ON PHILLIP ISLAND! This 24 hour service is another important milestone in the government’s commitment to improve health services on the Island. Thanks to our amazing staff and community, our architect and to DHHS for designing such a great building and service; thanks to TS Constructions and our excellent Facilities team for another job beautifully done! Thanks also to the inspirational Amanda Drennan and her Swim for Life crew who have raised over 60k for Urgent Care equipment; the Phillip Island Auxiliary for their efforts in fundraising for even more new equipment; and to the San Remo Bendigo Bank who announced a 100K donation when the doors open up on our Community Hospital. Planning has commenced on the hospital and as is always the case for health service builds, it will be 2022 before building starts, to make sure we get it right! In the meantime, local, excellent 24/7 urgent care, is what was asked for and this has now been delivered. Oh, and if you require emergency treatment for things such as Chest Pain, or Stroke symptoms, remember to ring 000!
