A trip to

Rotary’s Men’s Health Education Rural Van will be o ering free health checks for local blokes (and ladies) at Bunnings Orange on Wednesday, February 8, and Thursday, February 9.

“Saving men’s lives” is the catch cry of Rotary’s Men’s Health Education Rural Van (MHERV). An initiative of Rotary Warners Bay in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak, the free health checks are conducted by registered nurse Bill Power and include blood pressure, cholesterol check and blood sugar (diabetes) levels. Bill can relax even the most nervous of clients and he’s happy to chat about any other health issues, including your state of mind.

It all takes around ten minutes and provides immediate, and possibly life-saving results. Over the last four years, about 4 per cent of those tested required urgent attention and another 40 per cent were advised to follow up on something with their GP.

Given that Rotary’s MHERV van has checked the health of over 12,000 people, it has potentially saved over four hundred and fifty from a severe health event.

This service is delivered in a relaxed, informal and confidential setting under Covid-safe guidelines

All are welcome, so come in for your free health check at Bunnings between 9.30am – 3.30pm on Wednesday, February 8, and Thursday, February 9. For further information, contact MHERV Program Manager, Graeme Hooper, on 0417 203 603.
