Celebrating 15 years of Heathcote Primary Health

DOCTORS, nurses and staff members from Heathcote Health and Heathcote Primary Health celebrated 15 years of working together this week with a special luncheon.

Chief Executive Officer of Heathcote Health, Dan Douglass, said the collaboration had been the best possible move for Heathcote Health.

“I believe it saved the hospital,” he said.

“I could not be prouder of the way we work together for the Heathcote community.

“Heathcote Health and Heathcote Primary Health work together seamlessly.

“The service is easily accessible for everyone and the care for patients shines out.

“I am very pleased to announce that we have signed up for another 15 years of this partnership.”

Dr Adel Asaid, Director Heathcote Primary Health and St Anthony Family Medical Practice, thanked staff for their support over the past fifteen years.

“Without the continued commitment from all involved this could not have happened,” he said.

“The staff are all amazing and this is one of the most successful practices we have.

“Everyone puts the community first and provides the best medicine.

“Whenever I visit, I have a big smile on my face.

“It is beautiful, and I am looking forward to the next fifteen years of working together.”

The luncheon was attended by current Heathcote Primary Health doctors, staff and practice manager Michelle Carroll.

A special guest was Dr Safaa Essa, a former member of the practice who returned for the celebration.
