Hopetoun Duplex name unveiled
Rural Northwest Health is pleased to announce that its Hopetoun Duplex precinct has been officially named Splatt Mallee Mews.
Hopetoun resident Frank White (left), one of our residents on the naming committee, celebrates the unveilling with (from left) Hopetoun Nurse Unit Manager Alison Fischer, Board member Janet Fisher, Una Splatt, CEO Jenni Masters, Executive Manager Corporate Services Chris Reichelt, Hopetoun Campus Manager Angela Naylor and Project Support Officer Bernie O'Connor.
Receiving an extensive list of naming suggestions from the community, a panel of our Hopetoun residents and staff spent time considering the options, coming up with a combination that they felt best reflected the community and honoured both wonderful former Hopetoun Matron, Una Splatt, and our beautiful Mallee region.
Attending the announcement this morning, Una said she is humbled, but thrilled, to have been honoured this way.
Rural Northwest Health wishes to thank everyone who suggested names for the precinct, and the Loud Signs team of Andrew and Oscar for their hard work installing the sign.
