HealthOne Raymond Terrace
The HealthOne Raymond Terrace service will be a purpose built facility located in the central business district of Raymond Terrace. It will co-locate the largest General Practice in the township with Community Health services, provide a base for a range of visiting services and link with the three other general practices in town. The proposed model includes the following services:
- General Practice and other primary health care services provided through Raymond Terrace Family Practice
- Allied Health services including occupational therapy, speech pathology, physiotherapy, nutrition service, social work and psychology counselling services
- Specialist services such as women's health, mental health, drug and alcohol, palliative care nursing, podiatry/ footcare, Aboriginal health, sexual health, sexual assault, and child protection
- Visiting medical specialists, such as paediatrics, respiratory medicine, geriatrics, palliative care, neurology, anaesthetics
- Pathology (Hunter Area Pathology Service and two private providers) and radiology services (Hunter Health Imaging Service and a private provider)
- Local community health services including community nursing, Aged Care Assessment Team, child and family nursing, cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation and young mothers groups
