Healthwoods Endoscopy Centre

This week we recognise NAIDOC Week and the important role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have played in our local community for thousands of years. With the theme ‘Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud and Proud’ we recognise and give voice to the needs of ATSI patients, staff and doctors across our Healthe Care sites.

Attached is the poster for this year along with the Healthe Care Acknowledgement of Country. A video (including the 2023 Aboriginal Person of the Year, Dr Kelvin Kong from Maitland/Lingard) is available at https://youtu.be/QfQu5PUrBjc?si=Y64yb_DR61DBiYIs

Further information and resources can be found online at https://www.naidoc.org.au/about/naidoc-week

This National Sorry Day we remember and acknowledge the inequalities that exist between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other Australians. While much work has been done to address these inequalities, there is still more to be done ‘Now More Than Ever’.
