Griffith Base Hospital Redevelopment Community Open Day

Marg Couch, Local Connector for the Welcome Experience Program in the Riverina, recently attended the Griffith Base Hospital Redevelopment Community Open Day Tour. An incredible event that brought new essential workers and local residents together in a spirit of connection and celebration.

The open day provided a unique opportunity for newly arrived essential workers, many of whom have been supported by Marg and The Welcome Experience Program, to meet the community and feel a sense of belonging in their new town.

The tour highlighted the impressive progress of the hospitals redevelopment but also marked a significant milestone in Griffith’s journey of progressive regional infrastructure development. It was a day that celebrated both the future of healthcare in the region and the hardworking essential healthcare workers who make it possible.
