In honour of the Heart Foundation Heart Week we are hosting our May Midweek Matters for our members & friends to learn all about the heart, directly from speakers with decades of experience.

Lauren Ford, ACT General Manager at the Heart Foundation will present on heart health, how we can best live a healthy lifestyle and reduce our risks of heart disease. Lauren will provide an overview of the work of the Heart Foundation, the programs and initiatives available to assist in healthy living, and provide insights from her own lived experience with heart disease.

Heart Week is Australia’s National Heart health awareness week and provides an opportunity for health professionals and the Australian public to start a conversation about heart health and take steps towards reducing their risk of heart disease.

We will also be joined by Empower Better Health's Stuart Noyce (Director, Senior Exercise Physiologist, Exercise Scientist, Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Certificate) and Jo Grey (Accredited Exercise Scientist, Accredited Exercise Physiologist) who will speak about how you can get support to prevent and recover from cardiovascular conditions/issues and how programs like Strength for Life can assist.

A light afternoon tea will be provided, and you'll have the opportunity to socialise and ask questions to our range of panelists at the end of the session.

When: Wednesday 22 May, 1 pm

Where: Hughes Community Centre Hall, 2 Wisdom St Hughes
