At the Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN), our mission is to be a thriving community, providing reliable and respectful health care. SALHN is uniquely positioned in the South Australian health context. We provide services across the lifespan, from complex obstetrics, maternity and neonatal services to end of life care provided through hospital and community-based palliative services. Our operating principle – To listen, act, make better, together – guides our determination to build a system that will consistently deliver reliable and respectful health care for, and with, all members of our community. SALHN provides care for approximately 355,000 people living in the southern suburbs of Adelaide and people from regional areas including Fleurieu Peninsula, Limestone Coast, the Northern Territory and beyond. Our core health services include medical, surgical, rehabilitation, aged care, mental health and women’s and children’s services. Our aim is to care for our consumers and community ‘every step of the way’ with a focus on: • A healthy start to life • Excelling at complex care treatment including major surgery • Integrated care by partnering to deliver more services in the community and closer to home • Restorative care and enhancing patient’s wellbeing and independence • Quality end-of-life care to support dignified end-of-life.
