Timboon and District Healthcare Service’s new Chair, Maryanne Puli Vogels, is leading board members on a month-long ‘pause for a cause’ to support disadvantaged youth.
Ms Puli Vogels has ditched alcohol for febfast, which raises funds to help support vital youth workers, services and programs for disadvantaged young people who need it most.
John Fox spent his whole life helping other people. When he needed support though, asking for it didn’t come so naturally. Thankfully, the karma train was true to form and the community wrapped its collective arms around him.
This is his story…
Today marks the start of a new and exciting era for the Timboon Opportunity Shop (TOPS) which will now be run completely by volunteers as a stand alone community cooperative.
TOPS was opened in November 2011 by Timboon and District Healthcare Service (TDHS) staff members and an army of community volunteers, including current coordinator Brenda Parfett.
Timboon and District Healthcare Service has a new Board of Governance.
Six new community members have joined five existing members on the new look board of 11, which will again be chaired by Josh McKenzie.
From next month, Timboon and District Healthcare Service will fall in line with statewide fees and charges that have been in place for over a decade in many towns.
Chief executive officer Gerry Sheehan said the State Government introduced legislation in 2005 to roll out fair and equitable fees and charges right across Victoria. He said the policy was designed to fairly collect fees from clients in order to continually grow public health care services and meet changing community expectations.
A new emergency generator will be installed at Timboon and District Healthcare Service to ensure the safety of patients and staff is not impacted during power outages.
Chief executive officer Gerry Sheehan said the organisation had successfully applied for a State Government grant to undertake the $133,000 project.
