OVERSEEING the completion of the new Goulburn Valley Hospice building or soon to be known as the ‘community palliative care hub’ was GV Hospice, client operations manager, Tracey Kerr. Tracey’s involvement with the project has been ongoing alongside the committee of management, where the long-term planning is finally falling into place.
With just seven weeks until the doors open to this state-of-the-art facility, the buzz around the exciting changes and huge upgrade are evident. The hub will provide a place of peace and welcoming and will provide so many more opportunities to the region, and for these much needed services to grow.
“So much thought has been put into this building, and nothing has been overlooked. It will consist of two beautiful consultancy rooms, social support and counselling areas, a tele-health video conferencing room, and a huge training room to train our future workforce. This building will provide a whole different opportunity for the organisation going forward,” said Tracey.
GV Hospice is a not-for-profit, home-based palliative care service which provides comprehensive, collaborative and specialist support to people living out the final stages of their life. It is holistic care in the home, to a patient and their family.
The ‘community palliative care hub’ that opens towards the end of July, is located on the corner of the Wyndham Street and Balaclava Road. For more information regarding in home palliative care services with GV Hospice call (03) 5822 0068.
