Governing Board and staff talk about men’s health
Jun 12, 2024Mid North Coast Local Health District’s Governing Board marked Men’s Health Week at their monthly meeting.
The Board took a break to chat with staff over a healthy morning tea.
Board Chair Peter Treseder AO praised the important work of staff to help men check in with their health, physically and mentally.
“Fifty men a day are dying from preventable diseases,” Mr Treseder said.
“I know our staff are working hard to help men check in with their health so that any issues can be caught and treated early.”
Acting Hastings Macleay Clinical Network Coordinator and General Manager of Port Macquarie Base Hospital, Jo Campbell, said encouraging men to talk about their health was still a societal challenge.
