The Rural Health Partnership (RHP) is delighted to once again facilitate the Farm Families Mobile Health Checks Programme.
On Friday 25 March the mobile unit returns to the Fane Valley Stores Altnamackan from 10am – 3.30pm. The Rural Health Partnership would like to thank Mr Stanley Henderson Manager of the local Fane Valley Store for agreeing to offer his store as the location for the Farm Families Health Check Vehicle.
Speaking about this initiative Majella Gollogly from the Rural Health Partnership said, “The Rural Health Partnership is delighted to have the Farm Families Health Check Vehicle available in our local area. We recognise that Farmers and Farm Families are very busy people and often don’t take the time to look after their own health and wellbeing. Having the Health Checks Unit at the local Fane Valley Store in Altnamackan makes it more accessible and convenient for local farm families to avail of - what better a way to spend 15 minutes!”
The health checks will offer a good indicator of one’s overall health, including blood pressure, BMI, Cholesterol, Diabetes risk score and overall wellbeing.
