“Community Connections” was a welcome night for our new Maryborough District Health Service International health workers held on November 2nd 2024 at the Salvation Army’s hall in Maryborough. Entirely run through a partnership between MDHS and our incredible local volunteers (MVRG) and organisations, the night was funded by the Maryborough Lions with many thanks to them for doing so. The evening exceeded all expectations with lots of Indian food and loads of fun for all attendees. Together we set out to warmly welcome our new residents, make them feel at home, help them enrich our cultural diversity, ensuring we have plenty of skilled health workers for our brand new hospital. The event epitomises MVRG’s ongoing commitment to our community and a demonstration how volunteering can make a positive impact across all aspects of community life.
