Omeo District Health Annual Report 2005/06

We welcome our new General Practitioners to
our team and thank them for their continued
support to ODH.
We would also like to welcome Dr Rick
Lowen to his role as Director of Medical
Services at ODH.
We extend our appreciation to Dr Martin
Gelin for his continued dedication to the
provision of community dental services.
We continue to enjoy a close working
relationship with Rural Ambulance Victoria
and welcome Ms Lindley Jones to the role of
Rural Ambulance Paramedic Support Officer
at Omeo Rural Ambulance.
Finally, we wish to extend our gratitude to
the members of the Omeo District Health
Board. All members give their valuable time
as community members who have an interest
in improving the range and quality of health
services provided to the community. We
acknowledge the work of Mr Rodney
O’Connell, Board Chair for his commitment
and dedication to the role, and to all Board
members who strive to ensure the ongoing
future and success of ODH.
In Conclusion
In 2005-2006, ODH has again met with many
new and exciting challenges.
ODH has continued to provide the most
effective and efficient physical, emotional and
social care possible through the delivery of
services that are accountable to individual
and communities needs. The efforts of the
Board, staff and community to support and
adapt to such change and has been
exceptional. We look forward to the 2006-
2007 year and the challenges that will present
Omeo District Health in the provision of
integral health resources for the region it
serves.
