HCF will help its Tamworth and district members with a pioneering heart health check program, the Victor Chang Health Check Booth. It will operate from Wednesday, September 2, to Friday, September 4, between 9am and 4.45pm, and is provided free by HCF to members with extras cover. Heart Foundation research shows cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Australia, killing one person every 11 minutes. Blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels will all be checked and a confidential assessment provided.
A registered nurse from the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute will carry out the tests, with results provided on-the-spot. The tests will be carried out on a first-in, first-served basis, so visit the branch early to avoid missing this opportunity.
