**EOFY Health Check Reminder 🩺**

As we approach the end of the financial year, it’s a good reminder that EOFY isn’t just about taxes and paperwork — it’s also a great time to check in on your health and wellbeing.

Regular health check-ups can help identify potential health concerns early, review ongoing conditions, update medications, and support your long-term health goals.

Whether it’s a routine check-up, blood pressure review, mental health discussion, care plan review, or general health assessment, taking time to prioritise your health is important.

**If you are due for a check-up or have been putting off seeing your doctor, we encourage you to visit our clinic and book an appointment.**

Skin Check Examinations Starting in June at VMC!

We are pleased to introduce regular skin check clinics commencing in June, expanding our services to further support the health of our community.

Regular skin checks play an important role in the early detection of skin cancer, including melanoma. When detected early, most skin cancers can be treated effectively, making routine skin examinations an important part of preventative healthcare.

Our doctors can assess your skin, examine any spots or moles that may concern you, and provide advice on monitoring changes over time. In addition, we will also offer minor skin procedures and treatments where required, providing a comprehensive, end-to-end service for your skin health needs.

We are excited to bring this new and ongoing service to our community.

If you have noticed a new or changing spot, or would like a routine skin check, we encourage you to visit our clinic and book an appointment commencing from June.

Looking after your skin today can make a difference for your future health.

Virginia Medical Center delivers compassionate, patient‑focused care with advanced technology and expert clinicians. From primary care to specialized treatment, the center is committed to improving community health with excellence and integrity.

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of early detection and screening.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in Australia, but when detected early, treatment outcomes are often much better. Symptoms can include changes in bowel habits, blood in the stool, abdominal pain, or ongoing fatigue.

If you have concerns about your bowel health, notice ongoing symptoms, or are due for screening, we encourage you to visit our clinic and speak with your doctor.

Heart Health & Mental Wellbeing ❤️

Good health is about looking after both your physical and mental wellbeing. Taking small steps towards a healthier lifestyle can make a big difference over time.

Regular exercise, healthy eating, quality sleep, managing stress, staying socially connected, and attending routine health check-ups all play an important role in supporting overall wellbeing.

A Heart Health Check is a simple assessment that helps identify your risk of heart disease and only takes around 20 minutes.

Taking time to look after your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or simply not yourself, support is available.

If you are due for a Heart Health Check, have concerns about your blood pressure, stress levels, or mental wellbeing, we encourage you to visit our clinic and speak with your doctor.
