LOWAN MP, Emma Kealy is seeking the support of Lowan residents through a petition calling on the Victorian Government to keep its hands off regional hospitals and drop plans for mega-mergers.

 The online petition has been launched following confirmation from the Health minister that at least 20 health services across Victoria will have their funding slashed - reportedly by up to 30 per cent - leaving many of the impacted services with no choice but to cut front line services.
