STROKE
patients at Northeast Health Wangaratta are set to benefit from more
therapy options thanks to $200,000 in State Government funding.
The funding was announced last week by
Jaclyn Symes (MLC, Northern Victoria), with $144,000 to go towards
implementing an Early Supported Discharge project over 18 months, and
another $54,000 to go towards the Thomas Hogan Centre rehabilitation
service.
“These are two very exciting projects being
undertaken by NHW and the State Government is proud to be supporting
such positive initiatives that will improve(not result in improved recovery) patient recovery from
stroke,” Ms Symes said.
“The government is putting patients first
and ensuring stroke survivors can access the very best care, when they
need it, closer to home. Note the weasel word, care, not results.
“Stroke survivors in Wangaratta will benefit from rehabilitation
services that will enable them to enjoy a better quality of life.”
