Recently, Monash Partners held its inaugural symposium where our five year strategic direction was unveiled to address the priorities of our partners, consumers and the community through health research and research translation.
As we head toward 2030, our strategic priorities of CONNECT, SUPPORT and IMPACT, will help to achieve improved population health outcomes, higher value care, improved health equity, and improved experiences for patients, families and members of the healthcare workforce.
