Grampians Health Edenhope welcomes 15 staff members
Edenhope has welcomed an influx of new faces in the past six months, with 15 staff members joining the Grampians Health team.
The new staff members have travelled from interstate and overseas to make Edenhope home, many with partners and children in tow.
This recruitment drive is vital to maintaining world-class care in Edenhope’s urgent care centre, acute ward and the Lakeside Living care community.
It is also a gift to the wider community, which stands to gain insights and understanding from across the globe.
Along with former locals, drawn home to family and friends, staff members have arrived from India, Dubai and the Philippines.
Grampians Health Edenhope campus manager Tricia McInnes urged the community to reach out and make new residents feel welcome.
“I'm proud of how welcoming and inclusive our teams are", she said.
“These healthcare professionals are competent and comfortable in their roles, but outside of work it can be difficult adapting to a quiet country town.
“If locals see a new face down the street, I hope they’ll reach out and help our new residents embrace our wonderful Wimmera lifestyle; they’re not passing through, they’re here to stay.”
