With Rotary “Saving local lives” is the objective of the Rotary Men’s Health Education Rural Van (MHERV) which, thanks to the Rotary Club of Cowra is coming to our local area. MHERV is operated by the Rotary Club of Warners Bay in collaboration with local NSW Rotary clubs and other local community organisations. The MHERV Project has been operating for over 6 years travelling regional and rural NSW offering free health checkups to people who haven’t seen the inside of a doctor’s room since they don’t remember when! In that time, blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels may have reached seriously high levels and there are no symptoms… until it’s too late and a heart attack or stroke strikes. The program is focussed on men because unlike the womenfolk, they are not good at caring for their own health!... But nobody is turned away. The service is offered in a relaxed, confidential and informal setting. The MHERV Registered nurse conducts the tests and discusses any health concerns seated in the privacy of the van. MHERV screenings have saved many lives and improved health outcomes for many men and women throughout NSW. You’re invited to take the opportunity to have a quick, free health check. Just ten minutes invested with MHERV can save your life or the life of someone you love. The MHERV will take up its post outside Silly Sollys, Shop 74 Kendal St Cowra on: Saturday 12th April 9.30am – 4.15pm Monday 14th April 9.30am – 4.15pm
