GSSC Celebrates 2 Years

Today marks Great Southern Specialist Centre's two year anniversary since opening our doors.  

There have been many challenges along the road however we have been forefront in achieving our vision to attract, increase and support local and visiting medical specialists in one location to provide timely access and a high standard of quality care to patients living in our community. Incorporating latest technology to assist the delivery of care was put to the test during our recent COVID-19 experiences and we were pleased to  be able to continue to provide specialist services via a range of telehealth, telephone and alternative methods to assist.

We take this opportunity to thank the management and staff at the Albany Day Hospital for providing options for those in our community with private health,  all our wonderful referring general practitioners within the Great Southern and in Esperance, staff at the public hospitals where our specialists work for working together with us to assist our public patients,  all our visiting specialists and their Perth staff who we work closely with on their Albany visits,  all the local businesses who we engage with and most importantly our wonderful admin, nurse and specialist staff at Great Southern Specialist Centre. What an amazing team of people.
