The year 2020 will be remembered as a time of significant and unprecedented challenges, as the world battled the coronavirus pandemic, COVID-19. In the months from March to June 2020, Ballarat Health Services’ agile response and commitment to our region served us well. During that period there were 14 positive COVID-19 cases treated. We recorded no fatalities, and transmission was contained rapidly whenever a case appeared.  Ballarat Health Services’ community leadership role, from community education and support, through to testing and in-patient care solidified the standing of Ballarat Health Services at a time of great uncertainty.  We are very proud of the skill, dedication and flexibility shown by our staff, and the support and trust received from patients and families during this time. While there was fear and uncertainty, there was also great collaboration and support.
