Congratulations are extended to the Primary Health
Clinic/Needle Syringe Programme (NSP) which was nominated for a small business
award at the Premier Regional Business Awards.
Most specifically, the nomination was in recognition of the
Breakfast Club Program which provides healthy nutritious breakfasts to the
clients who access the NSP. The Breakfast Club Program fills a need not
otherwise met in the community, and so has quickly expanded from a weekday
service operating between 9:00-11:00am to an all-day breakfast.
Food is donated from Avocare in Dandenong, including cereals,
bread, spreads, chips, lollies, cakes, fruit, yoghurt and breakfast biscuits.
Not only does the Breakfast Club Program help individuals in
need from a nutrition perspective, it is also an innovative way to engage with
clients in a more relaxed setting offering support, information and referrals
to allied health services if necessary.
It is a quality example of how Monash Health engages with,
and in, the community to provide exceptional healthcare.
Unfortunately, the Breakfast Club Program did not win the
small business award, but was highly recognised for its positive approach to
healthcare and was presented with a plaque.
