For 30 years Franca has worked tirelessly for the Health Service and is highly respected by her peers and work colleagues for her discipline, camaraderie and her no-nonsense leadership style. Franca has lead a number of significant health programs driven by her commitment and passion to the community and in particular those who are most vulnerable. One of Franca’s noteworthy achievements is the successful introduction of Health Pathways and her work on e-referrals that has cemented the strong collaboration Local Health District now enjoys with COORDINARE, the South Eastern NSW Primary Health Network.
All the work Franca undertakes requires high level interpersonal skills, strong and authentic communication and genuine engagement. Franca has delivered impressive benefit for the residents of the Illawarra Shoalhaven, to her community and ultimately the wider population of NSW.
