I want to thank everyone who attended the community meetings in Seymour and advocated for the future of our local hospital.
With a crowd of 120 people there, it was very clear just how important an issue this is for all of us.
While some of the information revealed was quite distressing, it was incredible to see the level of care our community has for their local health service.
Our hospitals are a source of pride for our towns and must be given the proper support they deserve.
Following the meeting, I will be writing to the Seymour Health board to share exactly how our community feels about these mergers.
This is an issue that sadly will impact many more of our communities across regional Victoria, and I encourage every town in our region to make sure their voices are heard to make sure that our local health services are kept local.
