Free Health Check helps 57 locals

A total of 57 individuals underwent the health check, including 10 women.

Twenty of those were advised to make an appointment with their General Practitioner, 34 were advised to see their GP as soon as possible and three were advised to see their GP immediately.

Rotarian Lesley Hills — who assisted at the van — said even if it helped just one person, it was worth offering the service.

‘‘It was a great two days in Deniliquin, especially seeing so many people take advantage of this free service,’’ she said.

‘‘It is so important to check your health and hopefully we have made these people aware of any issues they may need to seek help with or let others know they are completely healthy.’’
