South West Healthcare provides 122 medical, nursing, psychiatric, allied health and community health services to 102,386 people who call the rural shires of Warrnambool, Moyne, Corangamite, Glenelg and Southern Grampians home.
We have two public hospitals (Warrnambool & Camperdown), five community health centres (two at Camperdown and one each at Warrnambool, Lismore and Macarthur), one aged care facility (Camperdown) and four community psychiatric services offices (Warrnambool, Camperdown, Hamilton and Portland).
Donations are used to help buy otherwise unaffordable medical equipment and aides. Our most recent purchase has been a desperately needed $40,000 Transesophagael Echo (TOE) Probe that will save at least 140 people a year from having to travel to Geelong or Melbourne for this potentially-lifesaving heart screening.
