\u201cRotary Centenary House epitomizes everything that is great about Rotary and our community,\u201d Mr Chester said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSelfless volunteers from the local community provide the service for families from outside of their local region who need help and support during a difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house provides affordable accommodation for patients and their families; and also allows provides an opportunity for residents to meet people facing similar challenges and support each other through the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Latrobe Regional Hospital recently opened new emergency and cardiology operating theatres and wards. The hospital is now preparing a business plan for a further $177 million development.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemand at Rotary Centenary House often exceeds capacity and any expansion of the hospital would further increase pressure on Centenary House services,\u201d Mr Chester said.<\/p>\n
\u201cStage three is vital to meet the needs of the Gippsland community into the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
