CAQA Lakeside Health
Health care close to home
Lakeside Health is an integrated primary care provider serving the Lake Macquarie community with general practice, practice nursing, allied health, dentistry, pathology collection and a health services pharmacy under one organisation. Patients see a general practitioner, have blood taken, collect a prescription and book a physiotherapy or dental appointment without leaving the group. The centre cares for about 28,000 active patients, with a strong focus on chronic disease management, older people living at home, children's health and workers in the region's mining, health and retail industries. Lakeside also provides telehealth consultations for patients who find travel difficult.
