IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING OUR HEALTH SERVICE
We are thrilled to welcome Dr Sam Critchley back to the Centre. Dr Sam Critchley joins Dr Alison Lyon and Dr Miriam Brooks and our Registered Nurse Salicia Davies. Our clinical team is trauma informed and committed to the needs of all women.
BMWHRC health services prioritise ‘health disadvantaged’ women in the Blue Mountains.
This means that if you are on Centrelink benefits or have a Health Care Card we will take extra steps to make services available to you and encourage you to contact us for an appointment and assessment.
This approach to health equity is a priority in the Centre, existing clients who no longer meet a high-need criteria may experience changes to their regular appointment schedule & availability.
