Prioritising Health at Every Age: Local Clinics Encourage Preventative Care During Men’s Health Week

Good health starts with regular care, and clinics such as Gladstone GP Superclinic and Harbour City Family Practice are encouraging the community to make health a priority, this week and beyond. While Men’s Health Week puts a national spotlight on the physical and mental wellbeing of Australian men, it also serves as an important reminder for everyone to be proactive about their health.

Too often, people wait until symptoms appear before seeing a doctor, but preventative care plays a vital role in catching potential health issues early, when they are often easier to treat. This includes staying up to date with routine check-ups, blood pressure and cholesterol testing, skin checks, cancer screenings, and mental health consultations.
