Welcome to our winter up date.

1. Transition of the Health Care Home Program to the Keep Well Clinic Program

The Health Care Home pilot project will close at the end of June 2021. There are 160 patients signed up for this program, and they will have received an email about this. The team at Don Medical Clinic has learnt a great deal on how to deliver patient centred , team-based, collaborative care and will endeavour to continue this level of care under Medicare and offer it to all practice patients as the Keep Well Clinic Program.

6 .Dont Forget to get you Flu Shot this year !

Some patients are choosing influenza or covid vaccinations but not both. We would strongly advise that you consider both immunisations. They are not the same and one will not offer any cover against the other. Currently a 7 day window is recommended between the two .
