Social Outreach and Advocacy
We want to contribute toward just and inclusive
communities where everyone's dignity is respected and
supported.
Reaching out to people experiencing disadvantage to
improve
health and wellbeing.
While St John of God Health Care is primarily
known for its hospitals and pathology services, we also have a long
heritage
in working with and helping people within the community.
We involve ourselves in partnerships with
others in a range of activities because we know true health
involves all aspects of
the environment and conditions in which people live and
work.

Our group-wide Social Outreach & Advocacy program
provides a range of services to local, national and international
communities.
Our Social Outreach and Advocacy services include
the South West Community Drug Team,
providing drug and alcohol services to the community, and other activities.
Catering to community needs
We understand that care in the
community is increasingly
important both as a support for and an alternative to
hospital-based care.
St John of God Hospital Bunbury works
closely with local government health providers, local government
and other stakeholder groups with the aim of delivery diverse and
evolving programs to cater for the varied health and wellbeing
needs of our community.
