**The Loddon Mallee Health Network**

Hospitals and health services across the Loddon Mallee (which includes Bendigo Health) have agreed to strengthen and formalise their existing collaboration as a partnership of their Chief Executive Officers (CEOs).

They acknowledge that the increasing compliance burdens and shared issues of attracting their future workforce, combined with the rising costs of delivering services are better addressed together.

The region has a commitment to furthering the quality and safety of health care provision. As such the driving force for the creation of the Loddon Mallee Health Network (LMHN) was to ensure a great person-centered care experience across the entire region, a first of its kind in the state of Victoria.

The LMHN is governed by a Board of CEO’s of public hospitals from the Loddon Mallee region. The LMHN respects the sovereignty of local governance of each hospital and health service Boards of Management. The strategic focus of the LMHN Regional Plan was developed in conjunction with Board Chairperson input and endorsement. Individual Boards of Management have openly acknowledged that operating strategically and collaboratively across the region strengthens the future offering and viability of health care services to our communities.

**LMHN Vision**: Shaping the future of health service delivery to give our communities a great experience throughout the Loddon Mallee region.

**LMHN Values**:Respect, Integrity and Collaboration
