Open Day celebrated our long history of caring for locals
Recently, the community marked 100 years of bush nursing with an Open Day at Yackandandah Health Aged Care.
The day began at the museum with the opening of the bush nursing exhibition titled Thank God You’re Here, Nurse, created by the Wellbeing Advocacy Yackandandah (WAY).
Then, residents, families, staff and children from Little Yacks Early Learning came together at our aged care community to enjoy entertainment, activities, speeches and a special presentation of photographs that brought the town’s healthcare history to life.
WAY President, Geoff Simmons, spoke about the long-standing commitment from the community to keep care local for the past 100 years, and Manager, Aatqa, reflected on Yackandandah Health’s bright future.
“We’re fortunate to now be a part of Apollo Care, a national alliance that specialises in regional aged care. We are supported by a team of industry experts that make the complex simple, allowing us to stay focused on residents and families.”
Aatqa also presented long-service awards to some of our dedicated staff members.
The wonderful day’s festivities sparked memories, conversation and connection across generations.
