Greater Southern Area Health Service (GSAHS) today announced Maria Roche has been appointed as the new Tumut Health Service Manager.

Ms Roche brings to the role vast knowledge and experience gained from her previous positions within GSAHS in leadership and management and acute health care.

"Maria is a great example of a home-grown nurse who has been supported to advance her career for the benefit of local residents."

"Tumut and Batlow Health Services have built a strong network of clinicians and management who look forward to welcoming Maria to the team," she added.
