AFTER 26 years working for the Western District Health Service (WDHS) and tirelessly assisting the community with their health care needs, Men’s Health and Urology nurse practitioner, Stuart Willder, has been awarded a 2022 Victorian Rural Health Award (VRHA).

In the online ceremony earlier this year, Mr Willder was awarded the ‘Outstanding Contribution to Rural Primary Care Nursing’ award, which recognises an “exceptional rural nurse or midwife who has delivered outstanding patient care, positive outcomes, and who has performed above the expectations of their role”.
