Michael Hughes along with Liam Barry had commenced operations on the verge of Townsville's growth boom and quickly became established and recognised for their medical services in all aspects of General Practice.
Subsequent years we witnessed considerable growth, moves to better equipped premises, an increase in general practitioners along with the value-added bonus of the inclusion of on-site pathology, mental health counselling, psychology and pharmacy.
Aitkenvale Family Health Centre's mission has, and will always be, the provision of the highest standard of patient care, incorporating a holistic approach to diagnosis and management of illness and is totally committed to patient wellness and disease prevention.
This professional team will not discriminate in the provision of excellent care; they do treat all patients with due respect and as a team will help you and/or your family to feel the utmost confidence with their medical care.
