Portland District Health enjoys a strong media and social media presence and also takes its messages to community radio listeners.

Keeping you informed

Each Wednesday from 2.30-3pm, PDH hosts a community radio program on 3RPC, bringing interesting stories – often with related music – to listeners.

The program is hosted by PDH’s Carolyn Malseed and looks into all facets of the health service.

“It’s another opportunity to get information about the health service out to the community,” Ms Malseed said.

“When we can we have guests from across the health service in as guests to provide insight into their roles and to assist with providing the latest information regarding Portland District Health”.

“It’s just a friendly chat in everyday language,” she said. “We make it easy for everyone to understand.”

While Ms Malseed does not take questions during the program, listeners are welcome to follow up on any topic by calling PDH reception on 55 210333.

In addition to maintaining a strong presence in traditional media, PDH now has more than 6,500 followers on Facebook and regularly updates its website to keep people informed of its latest news.

We encourage all community members to follow our Facebook and Instagram pages to keep informed of new and current services and important information.
