Our Stories
Since 1974, Leichhardt Women’s Community Health Centre has been providing health care to the women of inner west Sydney. We are touched by the number of women mentioning the impact the centre had on their lives and an often heard expression is ‘the centre changed my life’. We wanted to know more so for our 40th Anniversary in March 2014 we invited women to talk to us, and the result is 40 Stories for 40 Years. Our special thanks to the clients who made 40 Stories for 40 Years possible by generously sharing their experience with the centre.
Following is a collection of some of these stories, beautifully written by the women themselves.
