A Medicare funded health promotion program is aimed specifically at people aged 45-49 years.
The aim of this program is the prevention of chronic disease and the promotion of healthy living.
The clinic is inviting people in this age group to book for an overall check of their health which will allow for the assessment of any chronic disease risk factors which might exist.
It may be that some patients already have a good working relationship with their doctor and attend regularly for health checks and advice.
However, staff at the clinic know that many people in this age group can be very busy with work or family commitments and have after hours appointments if this is more suitable.
Those who think a health check would be a good idea can phone the clinic on 57921222 to make an appointment.
The clinic would also like to invite their patients over 75 years old to participate in an annual comprehensive health assessment.
The assessment is fully funded by Medicare and includes a preliminary meeting with practice nurse Diane, which is then followed by a consultation with a doctor.
Diane is happy to visit patients at home or consult with patients at the clinic.
This assessment is structured to allow plenty of time to work through any questions patients might have.
Diane is an experienced nurse who can provide health information on many issues to assist in maintaining health.
To book a health assessment with Diane, phone the clinic on 57921222.
Diane or one of the clinic’s friendly staff members can answer any questions about the health assessment.
Assistance isn’t restricted to these two age groups.
The clinic can help anyone who is seeking to make healthy changes to their lives.
Staff can provide information on diabetes prevention and care, and patients over 40 years are encouraged to take the diabetes risk assessment.
The clinic is also an accredited travel clinic and offer a complete range of travel vaccinations and travel health care services to their patients.
