THE newly established Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare has received a substantial donation from the Mareeba Old Players and Supporters last week.
THE newly established Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare has received a substantial donation from the Mareeba Old Players and Supporters last week.
Members from the newly established health board, MOPS and Mareeba Shire Council gathered outside of the Mareeba Medical Clinic last Friday, exchanging a cheque valued in at $4250.
As the board is just freshly founded the money will be put away for a later date once the board is fully up and running.
“The purpose of the board was to merge with the local clinic and change its structure to a not-for-profit company,” Mareeba and Communities Family Healthcare board member Ross Cardillo said.
“We believe that way we have better opportunities to attract additional health services and funding to our town and additional doctors.
“The money will go into the account and will be used at a later date.”
The board will be advocating for new health services in Mareeba.
