Raising Awareness for Women’s Health 💕

Here are some of our lovely receptionists proudly wearing their pink shirts yesterday in support of women’s health! 💗

Once a month at Rouse Hill Family Medical Practice, we’re shining a spotlight on the importance of women’s health, because every woman deserves to feel empowered, informed, and supported in her healthcare journey.

From regular check ups to mental wellness and preventative screenings, women’s health covers so much more than we often talk about. That’s why our team is continuing to wear pink each Wednesday, to raise awareness, start conversations, and show our ongoing support for women of all ages.

Let’s use this month to encourage the women in our lives to prioritise their health, book that overdue appointment, and ask the questions that matter. Small steps can lead to big change.
