About
Hello! My name is Yvonne and I have been a clinical dietitian for more than 7 years working in NSW Health at both metropolitan and regional hospitals across a wide range of clinical areas. I'm currently working at Port Macquarie Base Hospital and at the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute.
From my experience as a dietitian, I have noticed that long wait times and limited access to personalized care often leave individuals and families feeling unsupported in their health journeys. I believe that by offering timely, compassionate care right here in our community, we can help people prevent health issues, reduce hospital admissions and improve overall wellbeing. I love helping people and I am really looking forward to working with you to achieve your health goals!
