Parkes Pharmacy

This is a level 3 project, the group have previously been funded twice at level 2. Gilford is a rurally isolated area with little community involvement. Previous projects have tried to connect the pharmacist into the local community and have had some success in doing so.

It is hoped that after this project the pharmacy will become a meeting point for the community.
