KDHSF

The Kinmount and District Health Centre (KDHC) is supported by the registered charitable foundation, the Kinmount District Health Services Foundation. The Foundation raises funds which are used for recruitment of health care providers, the promotion of healthy living and to support the KDHC, including the provision of capital items (e.g., furnishings, fixtures, computer systems, telephones, medical equipment). The close and supportive working relationship between the medical team and the Foundation enables doctors, other healthcare professionals and staff to practise without the need for extensive financial outlay.
