BCH chief executive officer Kathy Russell said the facility was a testament to the power of community collaboration and the unwavering support of many dedicated individuals, organisations and government.<\/p>\n
“I’d like to recognise the contributions of those who have helped us get to where we are today, celebrating a facility that will provide important care to children, youth and families in a growing community, close to where they live,” she said.<\/p>\n
“Together, we have created a space that will serve our community for years to come, fostering growth, collaboration and wellbeing.”<\/p>\n
Funding for the hub was provided by the federal Department of Health and Aged Care, which contributed $4 million to the development, and the Anthony Costa Foundation, which contributed $150,000.<\/p>\n
The 3,000sqm block occupied by the hub in Ocean Grove’s Kingston Estate was donated to BCH by the Corless family in 2023.<\/p>\n
Win Corless, and her children Jason Corless and Christine Campbell also attended Tuesday’s event, where Ms Campbell spoke of her late father Ed, and his belief in the importance of accessible healthcare.<\/p>\n
“As a family, we have deep roots in this community, and it gives us great joy to give back to a place that’s given us so much.”<\/p>\n
