Nelson Bays Primary Health
(PHO) News - 1st October 2008
Welcome to another
edition of the Nelson Bays Primary Health
fortnightly newsletter.
PHO
News:
Open
Day 
Nelson Bays Primary Health
held an Open Day at our new premises, at
20 New St, on the 25th of
September. This preceded our Annual General
Meeting.
We saw the open day as an
opportunity to share information about who we are, what
we do and how we can support quality primary health care
throughout the Nelson Tasman region. Suzanne Win,
Chairperson of the NMDHB, accepted our invitation to
speak at this event, and we are very grateful and
excited by the continued enthusiasm and support shown by
her, and attending staff, for the ongoing development of
this Primary Health Organisation.
We also very
graciously thank all the people who took the time out of
their working week to attend this function. It was
our opinion that we had an opportunity to develop our
relationships with providers involved in health care in
our region, and new opportunities and possible
collaborative projects where certainly kindled on this
day. We look forward to this year ahead and we are
committed to continue to work together with you to
improve health outcomes for people in Nelson
Tasman.
