Beck Hefferon, a senior physiotherapist with over a decade of experience, has recently moved to the Wheatbelt after years of working with the NMHS Amputee Rehabilitation Team in Perth. Beck is passionate about helping those affected by limb loss and is excited to continue this work in a new community.

We deeply appreciate the kindness, cards, flowers, baked goods and understanding from the community as we cope with the tragic loss of our beloved Dr Angelito Simon. He was a funny, caring man who will be greatly missed.

To pay our respects, the clinic at 25 Holtfeter Ave, Northam, will be closed on Monday 19 August, for his funeral.

Living a healthy and fulfilling life is important to us all. But ignoring our health and not seeing a doctor if we have unusual symptoms could have a serious impact on our life and wellbeing. It is important to be aware of cancer symptoms and get checked out by a doctor, clinic nurse or Aboriginal health worker if you notice anything unusual.

Common symptoms of bowel cancer may include blood in your poo (even just one time) or, for more than four weeks: a new pain, lump or swelling in your tummy; feeling tired; looking pale; losing weight without trying; and a change in normal bowel habits, such as runny poo, pooing more often or finding it hard to poo.
