    \u201cTheir proven track record and diverse expertise across healthcare, research, community services, and business will be instrumental in ensuring the highest quality care for the community.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI extend my sincere gratitude to outgoing Chair Mike Horan AM for his dedicated service and leadership, particularly during challenging times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u201cHis contributions have been invaluable to the Darling Downs HHS.<\/p>\n
