What happened at the Summit?
We thank Wodonga Council for hosting a regional health summit in Wodonga on Friday, 1 March.
The summit aimed to empower the region through unified advocacy, leveraging our collective influence to champion for the funding of a premier regional health service that caters to the cross-border community, solidifying our position as having the leading healthcare provider beyond Sydney-Melbourne.
It brought together all levels of government and key stakeholders in a conversation aimed at exploring what are the health challenges for Albury-Wodonga and the wider region; when are these critical, what are emerging and need intervention now; what do we need to address these; what can we collectively do to improve health outcomes in the Albury Wodonga region.
Microphone in hand, Amanda Cohn speaks of her frustration about the Border’s hospital redevelopment while on a couch alongside the Border Medical Association’s David Clancy, Victorian Opposition health spokeswoman Georgie Crozier.

“The department and the government actually gaslight the community by saying ‘that’s what you’ve sort of deserved all along’.”
