Last week we held an event in Creswick to acknowledge the completion of the major redevelopment at Creswick Health, and to thank the community who helped make it possible.
This milestone marks a new chapter for aged care and sub-acute services in our region.
Funded by the Regional Health Infrastructure Fund, the project has delivered a new 30-bed residential aged care facility, along with the full upgrade and reopening of the Creswick Acute Ward and sub-acute services.
What truly got this project over the line was the backing of the Creswick community.
More than $150,000 was raised locally through the Creswick Health Upgrade Appeal to complete the project. Significant contributions came from Community Bank Creswick & District and the Creswick Auxiliary led by Margaret Orr, and her husband, Bob.
We would also like to acknowledge …
- Our project manager Frank Sawyer
- Former Board Member and Fundraising Committee Chair, Kate Redwood
- Cr Don Henderson and Cr Lesley Hewitt from the Hepburn Shire Council
- Richard Blight from Blight, Blight & Blight Studio
- SJ Weir (Ballarat)
This redevelopment is more than new buildings. It reflects the strength, generosity and trust of our community, and ensures Creswick families can access high-quality aged care and hospital services locally, now and into the future.
