  1. A Primary Care Oasis: Community Control Success Stories at Walgett AMS

  2. Improved Access to Healthcare Services Through the "A Primary Care Oasis" initiative, Walgett AMS implemented strategies to enhance access to healthcare services for the community. This might involve extending clinic hours, providing telehealth options, or organizing outreach programs to reach remote areas. As a result, more community members were able to receive timely medical care, leading to better health outcomes.

  3. Empowerment of Indigenous Communities The initiative focused on empowering Indigenous communities by involving them in decision-making processes regarding Walgett aboriginal medical healthcare services. Walgett AMS may have established community advisory boards or forums where local residents could voice their concerns and contribute ideas for improving healthcare delivery. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and cultural sensitivity in the healthcare services provided.

  4. Holistic Approach to Healthcare Recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, mental, and social well-being, Walgett AMS integrated a holistic approach to healthcare under the initiative. This might involve offering culturally appropriate mental health support services, addressing social determinants of health such as housing and employment issues, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices through education and outreach programs.

  5. Measurable Health Improvements Through data collection and analysis, Walgett AMS demonstrated tangible improvements in key health indicators within the community. This could include reduced rates of chronic diseases, improved maternal and child health outcomes, and increased vaccination rates. By measuring the impact of their interventions, Walgett AMS could secure continued support and funding for their initiatives.
