Last year, the Northern Health Network successfully held five Closing the Gap community events across South Australia. Three events were held in metropolitan Adelaide in Salisbury Park, Old Reynella & Port Adelaide and two events were held in Country SA in Point Pearce and Port Pirie. The events were widely supported by the community and health professionals, with metropolitan events attracting in excess of 300 people. This year, for the first time, the NHN is combining all FIVE events into ONE event in central Adelaide.
