29 Jan Health Screen Days were a hit

TDHS Health Screen Days on 27^th and 28^th January proved  to be an extremely popular event with about 90 community members taking advantage of a range of health screens including Blood Glucose Levels, Cholesterol, Musculoskeletal Assessment , Nutritional Assessment and Advice, Hearing Australia Screen and Molemap Skin Checks. Participants also had access to a wide variety of health information and resources.

A healthy spread of fruit, muffins, juice and tea/coffee was provided on completion of blood tests. This was warmly welcomed as participants had fasted in order to have their bloods taken. A comment from a community member  ‘great food, great service, very efficient’.

Other comments from the day included:

‘A brilliant initiative – thanks so much, if just one person has been helped regarding the seriousness of their condition it has been well worth it.’

‘I was extremely impressed with the service on a whole, from the moment I entered the health care area I was met with professionalism, friendliness and knowledge, people who showed they cared about the individual – A wonderful service,  we are very privileged to have this level of health care in Timboon’.
