Changes to PARC (Prevention and Recovery Care)
As many of you know, Alfred Health and Wellways have worked in partnership to deliver the South Yarra PARC program for many years now and we would like to announce a change in provider partner. From the 14 September, Ermha365 will be the new partner with Alfred Health at South Yarra PARC and we look forward to delivering a high quality, contemporary and dynamic program for consumers and carers. Ermha365 have an excellent reputation in the delivery of individualised PARC programs that collaborate closely with their clinical partners throughout Victoria. The PARC clinical team are excited for the coming transition. At 5pm on the 11 September, PARC will close for a period of 2 weeks for handover, orientation, training and some on site refreshment and maintenance, reopening for business on Monday 28 September. This means we will begin winding down intake over the coming weeks with the final entries in the program being around the 28 August for 2-week stays. Communication to current and previous PARC Participants about the change in provider and disruption to service will be distributed via mail in the coming weeks. Alfred Health would like to thank Wellways for the years of commitment to the South Yarra PARC program and we look forward to further opportunities to collaborate in the future.
