The Millmerran Primary Health Care Centre will open on Tuesday,14th January 2020 to support general practice in Millmerran, following the sudden closure of the Millmerran Medical Centre due to staffing problems.
The new clinic will be open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm on the grounds of the Millmerran Multipurpose Health Service (MPHS).
Darling Downs Health Executive Director Joanne Shaw said that the priority was to open the facility as soon as possible to maintain primary care in Millmerran.
Hospital staff have been able to support the increase in primary health presentations to the emergency department, but the opening of this practice will mean a much better experience for patients rather than waiting in emergency for non-urgent care.
“We have worked hard to make sure we can continue caring for the Millmerran community and I would like to thank our staff for putting this practice together so quickly.”
