Women’s Health @ Hawkins and Two Lines Fertility have announced a new Women’s Health event for the Limestone Coast.
The “What you NEED – Your Women’s Health Toolbox” will kick off from 12pm through to 7pm on Tuesday, September 3 at Wulanda Recreation Centre.
The event is being held as part of national Women’s Health Week and is inspired by Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week.
Speakers, stalls and classes will be on offer to ensure women have what they need to be their healthiest self.
Whether it is contraception or sports injury prevention, the practicalities of budget management and affordable healthy eating, or pelvic floor issues, menopause management or how to get your body moving, there is something for every woman, no matter their stage of life.
Dr Monique Kanters of Women’s Health @ Hawkins, and Lucy Lines of Two Lines Fertility are not only keen to keep women up to date with the most accurate health information possible, but also hope to highlight some of the amazing services available to the women of the Limestone Coast.
“Good health does not come from people working in silos, it comes from people working together, and using a patient-centred approach,” Dr Kanters said.
“This is a way of bringing those people together in one place.”
Ms Lines is also looking forward to the event bringing together so many services.
“We have so many amazing practitioners and services right here on our doorstep, and this seemed like an excellent way to bring everyone together under one roof,” she said.
“Women of the Limestone Coast do not need to feel like being in a regional area means they’re disadvantaged when it comes to their health.”
The women said there was a lot of “health” information available to women these days, but some of it was certainly more accurate than others.
So together with their team they are looking to provide women with good science-based information, as well as just some plain practical advice, to help them lead their best lives.
This event is just one part of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week. Every September, over 200,000 people connect across Australia to share vital, up to date, health information in regards to women’s health. Jean Hailes is a not-for-profit organisation that delivers practical, and easy-to-understand information for women, as well as Australian health professionals.
