Macedon Ranges Health was joined by the community to celebrate its 60th birthday last week, with a final bash scheduled for next month.

More than 150 people attended a luncheon at the centre on March 19, to commemorate the not-for-profit organisation having served the Macedon Ranges community for 60 years.

Dr David Conron, who worked at the Gisborne health centre for more than 30 years, was one of those who turned out to celebrate. Macedon Ranges Health began as the Gisborne Bush Nursing Hospital in 1958. The community is invited to a 60th Birthday Gala Dinner on Friday, April 27 in New Gisborne. Tickets cost $80.
