The only way to start a good story is by starting at the end. The story of Forward Health encapsulates the essence of progression and that the end is never truly the end but rather midway to an always changing goal. This does not mean we do not aim to achieve but rather reevaluate the best chosen outcome frequently so that our colleagues, patients and friends always receive the benefit of our actions. To start would be to define our service industry and services: We aim to provide personal wound care, stoma care and lifestyle nutrition services within the Plettenberg Bay and Garden Route region. Our services include wound/stoma care in-hospital, in-room or home care as well as nutrition and lifestyle services.
The history of Forward Health is a love story from the heavens. God-intertwined creation into the constant progressing business it is today. Let us go back to 2016, the cold month of July and find ourselves in the corridors of Plettenberg Bay MediClinic. The patient - Eben Niemann in dire pain and distress after a second rupture of his colon 24 hours after his first chemotherapy session. The operation was set for disaster knowing septicemia has been rampant in already compromised body. Eben was set for theater and after a grueling operation returned with much of his colon removed, a new colostomy and fistula, and according to oncology - no real sense of survival. The recovery process in hospital formulated the divine meeting of Sr Yolandi de Hoog. The process of finding love in a hopeless place promised more than could be imagined. Unfortunately, after Eben’s discharge from hospital put the amazing chemistry on hold. Eben had to go home and recover and Sr Yolandi back to work. The relationship was put on hold due to other love interests and complications.
Eben was forced into broadening his vision and was introduced to a naturopath by the name of Dr Chris de Beer. Dr Chris used blood analysis and dietary supplements to help Eben break the spell of cancer and achieved full recovery and remission by the January of 2017. During this time he was undergoing severe 8 hour sessions of chemotherapy every 3 weeks. It is important to note that without faith in God’s promise of life, Eben would not be here right now.
Meanwhile back in Plettenberg Bay - Sr Yolandi de Hoog hard at work as senior nurse at the young age of 26 in MediClinic, was approached by a doctor to open her own wound care clinic. The idea lay dormant for a while but after stress levels and a underlying growing love for Eben, the idea could not be contained no longer.
