MEN’S HEALTH EDUCATIONAL RURAL VAN

 

“10 Minutes In The mherv Van Is All It Takes

For most, there is no culture to see their doctor for a regular check-up. Indeed it could be said that many men are afraid to do so in case they are told something they wouldn’t like to hear.

Consequently, conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar which have little or no apparent symptoms, can build up and lead to sudden unexpected death or long-term incapacity.

Tests may show no reason for concern, or at the other end of the scale it may be recommended that immediate medical attention be sought for treatment that would bring the condition under control… probably saving a life!”

 

Find the MHERV at the Merriwa Tourist Welcoming Centre on:

  • Monday 28th August from 12.30 – 3.00 pm 
  • Tuesday 29th August from 9.30 am – 3.30 pm
