Where Two Rivers Meet - Healthcare in Wentworth

About this episode

The episode features Tim O’Neill discussing healthcare developments in Wentworth, NSW.

Moving further through the Far West Local Health District, today we have arrived at Wentworth. The town of two rivers, where the Murray and Darling rivers meet. Wentworth is most famous for the historic inland river port, riverboat history, and the old Wentworth Gaol which was built in 1879. Today we are joined by Tim O’Neill, Health Service Manager at Wentworth Health Service. Tim is a longstanding employee and talks about the newly redeveloped Wentworth Hospital. Join us each fortnight for a new episode where we showcase one of many dedicated and driven district staff members who strive to deliver excellent health care in the rural and remote locations of the Far West Local Health District. Hosted by Heidi Drenkhahn and produced by Juanita White for the Integrated Care Team, Far West Local Health District.
