HealthOne Corowa
HealthOne Corowa is planning to co-locate Community Health and General Practice on the grounds of Corowa Hospital. The facility will include a privately funded extension to the existing Corowa Medical Centre and an adjoining building for Community Health Services.
This integrated primary and community care service will seek to meet the increasing health needs of the community, in particular the aged and those people living with chronic conditions or complex health needs.
