Wentworth Healthcare Board Meet with Local Health Providers in Lithgow

In late June, the Board of Wentworth Healthcare, the provider of the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network, held events at Lithgow Workies Club to better understand the health services and needs of the Lithgow region.

The Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network is a not-for-profit organisation operating across the Lithgow, Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury and Penrith local government areas. As one of 31 Primary Health Networks nationally, they receive funding grants from the Federal Government to support local GPs and other primary care providers to deliver high-quality care, to establish and fund non-hospital health services in the community, and to improve the health journey for community members as they move from one health system to another. The organisation is governed by a skills-based board, made up of experts from various fields within the health and corporate sectors.

The purpose of the two-day event in Lithgow, was to allow the Wentworth Healthcare Board to hear firsthand from local services they fund, and other key health stakeholders about the health successes, challenges and opportunities in the region.
