People Bank
Are you interested in improving health care in our region?
We believe that health care can be improved, and our community can be healthier when you are involved in planning, designing and evaluating health services.
The past few years have been a challenge for our community and health services. As a result, our health system is changing. PHNs help fund services to better support our communities needs and to shape a better health system. But we can’t do it without the voice of the people who use these services.
