Greater Shepparton has a reputation for its extensive and advanced health care sector to be proud of. With Health Care and Social Assistance making up our biggest industry, working towards a healthier region employs 17.3 per cent of Greater Shepparton residents.
On Tuesday, March 3 at 4pm, the Committee for Greater Shepparton (C4GS) will start the year off strong with their Health Innovation event, appreciating the strides made in in the locality towards our resident’s overall health. C4GS Chair Leigh Findlay said, “Health innovation is one of the Goulburn Valley’s quiet success stories – and it reaches far beyond hospital walls. From world-class care to cutting-edge food manufacturing and digital health, our region is leading the way, despite not yet receiving the same level of investment in facilities, infrastructure, and education and training pathways as other regional centres.”
The long list of impressive speakers from across Greater Shepparton, regional Victoria and beyond will highlight also highlight issues such as the divide in health care available between regional and metropolitan areas and spotlight the innovations and investment across our region helping to close this gap.
“We’ve got national bodies like the Australian Dairy Products Federation, the Australian Food and Grocery Council and the Murray Primary Health Network in the room, alongside local innovators people may never have heard of – from advanced prosthetics and sports medicine through to the local team running our digital health backbone across 20 per cent of the state for more than 10,000 staff,” said Mr Findlay.
Health Innovation in the Goulburn Valley will be held on Tuesday March 3 from 4pm at the Woolshed, Kialla. For details on the full speaker lineup, and to register visit https://www.c4gs.com.au/eventdetails/health-innovation-in-the-goulburn-valley
