“Saving local lives” is the objective of the Rotary Men’s Health Education Rural Van (mherv) which thanks to the Rotary Club of Young 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 six 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.

During mherv’s visit to Young last year, several women came in for a free checkup.

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.

Come and see us opposite Young Visitors Centre at the Railway Station - it is not necessary to make an appointment.
