Top doc on board

Barwon Health’s chairman is now also a board member of Geelong’s leading business group.
Geelong Chamber of Commerce announced this week that Dr John Stekelenberg had joined the board, replacing one of two directors who retired earlier this year.
Dr Stekelenburg, a GP who manages a clinic with 50 staff, said that as business owner he understood “the challenges that brings”.
“I also bring to the table a deep understanding of contemporary governance practices, strategic planning, stakeholder management and government relations.”
Chamber president Kylie Warne said Dr Stekelenburg would also ensure the organisation was “engaging strategically” with the burgeoning local health sector.
