The Central Hume Primary Care Partnership is a voluntary alliance of primary care health agencies working together to improve health service planning and delivery across the communities of Alpine and Mansfield Shires and the Rural Cities of Benalla and Wangaratta.
In order to better reflect the increasing maturity of PCPs and directions that PCPs are taking in service system reform, the Community Health Plan will be replaced with a 3 year strategic plan for the period 2009-2012.
The strategic plan focuses on four local health and wellbeing priorities that require a strategic and shared response by partner agencies.
These are:
1. Strengthening Partnerships
- Implementing a new structure to support local planning
2. Creating Healthy Communities
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Diabetes
- Young People & Alcohol
3. Coordination & Access
- Care Planning
- Equity
- Consumer voice
4. Inclusive and Resilience Communities
- Promoting Mental Health and Wellbeing
The strategic health and wellbeing priorities will be addressed through the domains of Partnerships, Service Coordination, Integrated Health Promotion and Integrated Chronic Disease Management
We will utilise four local PCP networks, one in each of our local government areas, to progress our partnership work. We will be utilising the Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plans to guide this work.
