Share your thoughts on health services in Young

Residents living in Young and surrounds have an opportunity to impact the future of their community’s health by attending Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN)’s upcoming ‘Conversations on the Couch’ session.

The relaxed drop-in session will be held at S&AJ Cafe and Restaurant, 23B Clarke Street, Young on Thursday 27 July 2023 between 10am and 12pm.

Chief Data Officer Dr Jason Bennie said Conversations on the Couch is an ideal opportunity for residents and local health professionals to chat with MPHN staff about health in their community.  

“There are no set questions, we’re happy for you to let us know what’s on your mind,” Dr Bennie said. 

“For example, do you have any concerns about health in Young, have you noticed a pattern, or is there an issue you would like to see addressed? 

“Often, we know what data is telling us about the health needs of the Murrumbidgee but it’s also important to understand what local people are experiencing. 

“Your feedback will help us identify any new or emerging issues we need to consider as we plan future services and initiatives for your region.” 

MPHN’s Planning and Reporting Manager Toni Preuss is looking forward to learning more about what’s working and what could be working better for health in Young. 

“I would like to talk to as many locals as possible, so please drop into the Conversations on the Couch session,” Ms Preuss said. 

“It’s your chance to share your experiences and make a difference in the health of your community.” 

Residents who are unable to attend Conversations on the Couch can still share their feedback via a quick community feedback survey at mphn.org.au/hna
