Red Lily - Jabiru Clinic Opening

From Red Lily:

One week ago, the Jabiru community came together to celebrate the official opening of the Jabiru Health Centre. 
As we reflect on the day, we are filled with pride, gratitude and optimism for the future.
What made the celebration so special wasn't the marquees, the music or the speeches — it was the people. 
Seeing community members, Elders, Traditional Owners, families, staff, partners and stakeholders come together to celebrate this important milestone reminded us why community-controlled healthcare matters.
On behalf of the Red Lily Health Board, thank you to everyone who attended, supported and contributed to making the day such a success.
We would like to extend a special thank you to:
• Our wonderful MCs, Kia and Singita, who brought warmth, energy and laughter to the day.
• Shanice Mudjandi and Gundjeihmi Aboriginal Corporation for the Welcome to Country.
• Minister Steve Edgington and Member for Arafura MLA Manuel Brown for joining us to mark this important occasion.
• Red Lily Health partners, stakeholders and friends for travelling or making the time to help us celebrate this special day.
• West Arnhem Regional Council, Hoops4Health, Hyper the Clown, B2M, DJ Dhee Man and Stan Man for helping create a vibrant and family-friendly celebration.
• CDU Medical students and volunteers who generously gave their time and support to host stalls, be part of the activities and provide food for the event.
• Our Board of Directors for their vision and leadership in guiding community-controlled healthcare in West Arnhem.
• Our Red Lily team, whose months of planning, coordination and hard work brought the event to life.
Most importantly, thank you to the Jabiru community. This Health Centre belongs to community and seeing so many people come together to celebrate its opening was truly something special.
The opening of the Jabiru Health Centre marks another important step in our journey to deliver culturally safe, accessible and community-led healthcare closer to home.
Together, we are building a healthier future for West Arnhem.
