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.
