Podiatrist Emma Millard is the latest addition to the REDHS Board, bringing a wealth of experience in health governance to the important role.
Ms Millard has fulfilled a range of clinical and leadership roles with Bendigo Community Health Services during the past decade; she is currently the organisation’s executive leader for risk, quality and compliance.
“I recognise the value of effective governance in the delivery of high-quality and safe services that meet community needs,” the new director said.
“And I look forward to utilising my experience and skills to support the REDHS Board.
“I was born and raised locally and my husband and I live just outside of Bendigo.
“I feel very lucky to live in a regional city, and I’m aware of the challenges that exist for many in accessing health services in regional, and particularly rural areas.
“In my new role I hope to support the REDHS' vision to care for our community while ensuring essential health service access.”
Ms Millard has been appointed for a two-year term.
She joins chair David Rosaia, and fellow directors Brad Drust and Jim Brooks who have each been reappointed for a further three years.
The REDHS Board now numbers nine and also includes Kate Lemon (deputy chair), Christopher White, Assoc. Prof. Carol McKinstry, Jodie Smith and Ben Devanny.
