Strengthening relationships with our community and partners is a strategic priority or SMHS.

We are committed to:

• engaging with the community to better define and deliver the services required to meet their health and wellbeing needs
• optimising existing partnerships and exploring new opportunities for innovative alliances both within and outside of health care.
