Transcript of Pathways to Community Living Initiative - Western Sydney Local Health District
Louisa Albornoz: I’d like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today – which is the Dharug people – and pay my respects to elders past and present.
The Pathways to Community Living Initiative is a program that’s run across NSW Health, which looks at assisting people that have had very long stays in hospital to transition back out into the community.
Milu Francis: Since the commencement of this program, we’ve supported and transitioned over 110 patients back into the community with a combined length of stay of 580 years.
We also noticed a significant reduction in re-admission rates.
