Residents in Elmore and surrounds will have access to increased podiatry and physical activity services thanks to a new partnership between Bendigo Community Health Services and Rochester and Elmore District Health Service.
The partnership will see REDHS staff delivering weekly podiatry and twice-weekly physical activity programs from the Bendigo Community Health Services site in Jeffrey Street, Elmore.
BCHS Podiatry and Physical Activity Program Senior Leader Tom Pain said the new partnership was built around caring for the Elmore community.
“We are pleased this partnership with REDHS will continue to support Elmore residents to live independently and use exercise to improve health and wellbeing,” Tom said.
“BCHS and REDHS are working together to ensure all our clients get the opportunity to continue with this new service and their health and wellbeing needs are taken care of.
“We have a long association with the Elmore community delivering podiatry and physical activity programs and running our popular Social Support Group and we look forward to that continuing through this new partnership with REDHS.”
REDHS Community Care Manager Susannah Hargreaves said the organisation was excited to build on services already delivered for the Elmore community.
“We are proud to be able to provide district nursing, home care, physiotherapy, podiatry and group exercise programs in Elmore,” Susannah said.
“REDHS staff are very excited by how well received they have been by the community.
“If anyone is interested in accessing any of these services, or knowing more about how we can support them, please touch base with our Central Intake Team at REDHS on 5484 4465.”
