Christie’s community contributions recognised by EWHS
As part of the June meeting, the Board recognised the outstanding contribution of outgoing director Simone Christie, who has served on the Board for nine years.
AT IT’S most recent Board meeting, held at the Charlton campus in June, the East Wimmera Health Service (EWHS) Board of Directors came together to discuss the draft 2026/27 budget, monitor organisational performance and strengthen future planning through initiatives such as the Grampians Local Health Service Network (GLHSN).
The Victorian Racing Club’s Melbourne Cup tour will include a visit to Wycheproof Hospital on September 7.
The Board of Directors acknowledged that this will be a valuable community engagement opportunity for EWHS.
