Zoltan Bourne and Fabian Jaramillo are two young doctors with a different approach to delivering patient care and providing health support.
Zoltan and Fabian are partners in vibrant health centres in the main streets of Maleny and Montville. They are focussed on disease prevention, health education, community support and actively partnering with allied health professionals in a co-ordinated approach to each person’s health and wellbeing.
“We don’t just practice reactive medicine”, says Zoltan. “We both passionately encourage patients to approach their health long term, and apart from offering a broad range of medical health services in both surgeries, we acknowledge the whole range of alternative and complementary therapies, in our efforts to heal the whole person – whatever their health philosophy may be.”
These medical partners have interesting backgrounds. Zoltan is off the land, coming from a long line of dairy farmers near Toowoomba. He now runs beef cattle with his wife on their farm near Conondale.
Fabian and his wife came from Colombia two years ago searching for the safety and peace not always found in their home country. Over this time, Fabian has been drawn to the special lifestyle known here on the Range.
Both Zoltan and Fabian know they are here to stay. “When you have come half way around the world and stumbled upon such a wonderful place, why ever leave,” emphasises Fabian.
Medicine on Maple and Medicine on Main have five doctors, three nurses and links with a range of other health professionals. They can be contacted on 5494 3944 (Maleny) and 5478 5059 (Montville).
