The Boorowa Multipurpose Service Open Day on Wednesday, October 30, offered community members an insightful look into the facility’s capabilities and a chance to connect with the dedicated staff who make it all possible. The event drew a supportive crowd who took the opportunity to tour the hospital, observe cutting-edge technology, and experience firsthand the care available within their community.

Facility Manager Nicole Summers expressed enthusiasm for the turnout and community involvement, remarking, “We are very excited to have the chance to invite the community to come and see our facility.” Attendees started the day in the emergency department, where a simulated emergency response highlighted the staff’s skills and demonstrated the Remote Medical Consultation Service—a virtual care system that offers access to a doctor 24/7.

Nicole added, “The open day will start in the emergency department where we will simulate an emergency response to showcase the skills of our staff and demonstrate the use of the Remote Medical Consultation Service.” This demonstration, along with insights into the new Emergency Care and Treatment (ECAT) protocols, allowed guests to witness the high level of preparedness and innovation that Boorowa MPS offers in emergency care.

Following the emergency showcase, guests participated in guided tours of the hospital and aged care wing. Nicole shared, “We are proud of the high standard of care we provide. It is a warm and friendly environment, with lots of home comforts as well as regular activities.” Visitors also explored the trade table and spoke with staff, who shared their passion for providing high-quality, patient-centered care in a supportive environment.

The Boorowa MPS Open Day successfully demonstrated the facility’s commitment to advanced healthcare and the well-being of the community. Those who attended left with a renewed confidence in the services available at Boorowa MPS, knowing they are supported by a team that values quality, compassion, and innovation in every aspect of care.
