“Jenny has a great working relationship with the LHAC, the wider community and the staff of the MPS,” Cr Schroder said. “She has a wealth of experience to bring to the role, so we are delighted she has been appointed.”

Jenny said her time as Acting Health Service Manager was very rewarding, and she was happy to be able to continue her work to meet the health needs of the community.

“I’m pleased that I can continue to lead the dedicated healthcare team at Vegetable Creek MPS, to provide the highest possible standard of healthcare to Emmaville,” Jenny said.

“I look forward to working with the community, to ensure Vegetable Creek MPS can continue to meet Emmaville’s health needs.”
