Atherton Health Hub in the spotlight
Northern Queensland Primary Health Network’s Health Workforce Spotlight profiles Dr Dan and Lauren Caines as practice owners at Atherton Health Hub. The feature explores why the Hub was established and how its multidisciplinary model connects general practice, pharmacy, allied health and visiting specialist services.
It also highlights the role of team collaboration and multidisciplinary case conferencing in coordinating care for patients with complex needs, while keeping high-quality healthcare available close to home on the Atherton Tablelands.
Why this matters to Meridian
Atherton Health Hub is Meridian Group’s founding practice and the practical origin of the stewardship model. The experience of building local clinical relationships, shared systems and coordinated services demonstrated that organisational capability can strengthen community healthcare without weakening its local identity.
The NQPHN profile captures an early expression of the model Meridian is continuing to develop: connected clinicians, purposeful innovation and a long-term commitment to stronger regional healthcare.
