A Tiny Town Triumph – Dr Emmy Hennell

Running her own practice in a “top ten” tiny town, Dr Emmy
Hennell is a rural GP in a position to sit back and survey her
great achievements, wrapped in the arms of a supportive
community. From her home in Tumby Bay, South Australia, Dr
Hennell shares her extraordinary story, from growing up as the
11th of 13 children in an Adelaide family, to becoming a
dedicated rural GP. After nearly leaving medicine to become a
nurse, Dr Hennell overcame numerous challenges, including
balancing motherhood and her medical career, to eventually own
and run a rural medical practice. Her story highlights the
importance of persistence, community support, and the unique
opportunities that rural medicine offers.
