Preventative Health
HMS Community offer health checks that test blood pressure, blood sugar, and ear wax build-up. These health checks are performed by medical professionals in the community at events.
Preventative health and early intervention are important for preventing diseases from progressing and causing serious health problems such as hearing loss and heart disease. By identifying people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and ear wax build-up early on, HMS Community can help to prevent these conditions from causing serious health problems in the future.
HMS Community can attend your workplace or event to perform Health Checks for you and your staff, attendees, volunteers or community. The checks involve a blood pressure check, basic observations and a chat with one of our health professionals.
If you are interested in arranging for HMS Community to come to you, please get in touch via email or phone call!
We are currently working on funding opportunities to allow us to complete these checks free for our community. If you are interested in supporting us, please click below.
