Our Philosophy
The Philosophy of Heywood Rural Health emanates from the belief that each person is an individual with differing, diverse and changing physical, physiological, emotional and spiritual needs. Their right to maintain their identity and dignity should be respected in life and in death, regardless of the person's race or creed, or their social or economic status. [continued]
Our Goals
