Did you know that the town of Gulgong has 9 AED units that have 24/7 availability, and 16 units available within business hours.

The Gulgong Heart Of Gold program is another great example of how strong community spirit and initiative can make a huge difference.

Having a GP back in the town after 18 months has also restored the heartbeat of the town.

This month, the town is bathed in yellow in support of the Heart of Gulgong Program.

Thank you and for again highlighting the immense issues we're facing in the Mid-Western Region with our current doctor storage.

Yes, we've had great success with two new GPs moving to the region, but we still have a long way to go, with Mudgee surgeries still closed to new patients.

We're so grateful to any journalists or producers bringing light to this grassroots initiative.

Together, we can help bring healthcare home.

We know the mid-west region of NSW is a wonderful place to live and work, but encouraging everyone else to make the move regional can be a challenge,

The further away from a big city you live, the shorter your life expectancy is - It’s outrageous, but it’s true.

Last week, we met with Dr Liz Kennedy from Mudgee Medical Centre and Member for Calare Andrew Gee to discuss ways to keep pressure on governments to help fix the rural doctor shortage crisis.

He was impressed with the recent success the Doctors 4 Mudgee Region Initiative has seen in helping secure a new doctor for Gulgong and Mudgee (without the help of state or federal governments).

We are proving that community led change and action is making the difference, and if you want something done, proactive community enterprises and members can make it happen.

Thank you to our initiative sponsors, Ulan, Moolarben, and Wilpinjong Coal Operations, who are helping bring healthcare home.
