To our nurses, thank you for the care, dedication and professionalism you bring each and every day.

Our Allied Health team have gone all out for Heart Week, transforming the Community Health Hub into a sea of red to help raise awareness about heart health and the small changes that can make a big difference.

Heart disease remains one of Australia’s leading health concerns, but there are simple steps we can all take to support a healthier heart:
- Stay active every day
- Eat a balanced diet rich in fruit and vegetables
- Keep up regular health checks
- Manage stress and prioritise sleep
- Quit smoking and reduce alcohol intake

A healthy heart starts with healthy habits

A huge thank you to our amazing Allied Health team for helping spread this important message and creating such a vibrant display for our community!
