- Emma Atkin started in June as the new Practice Manager. Emma has worked in the Albury Wodonga Medical Industry for many years now, spending the last eleven years running an Albury Surgeon’s medical rooms and for 8 years prior to that a Wodonga Based General Practice. She welcomes any enquiries or feedback with regards to the medical centre to : practicemanager@yackhealth.com.au.
Farewell
We were very sad to say goodbye to Dr Alex Maslen last week. Alex has completed her locum tenure at Yack Health and now returns to her post at Defence Health. She has been a wonderful asset to the Medical Centre Team and will be sadly missed.
