Health tick for ’Burra

RESIDENTS of Korumburra and district have received a substantial boost to medical facilities with the recent million dollar upgrade of the Korumburra Medical Centre.
With the help of a Federal Government grant and the partners chipping in most of the remainder of funds, the town now has a facility for the community to be proud of.
The building, almost double in floor space, is a combination of the former clinic with the addition of new areas. Expanded car parking at the rear means access to the building is much better than before.
Previously tight for space, the refurbished clinic is no longer held back and can now accommodate all doctors, including a consulting room for medical students funded by the Monash School of Medicine.
A training room on the lower level of the building provides the ability to video conference, especially useful for medical students, registrars and interns for ‘remote’ education.
Partners in the practice Drs Mark Bensley, Phil Huguenin and Peter Lewis are all delighted with how the job has come up and especially thank the public and all staff for putting up with the inconvenience the renovation caused.
The facility will be officially opened this Thursday, November 6 by Federal Member for McMillan, Russell Broadbent.
