Heartbeats Orewa Meeting Next Tuesday

Trent from Matakatia - Tindalls Beach

Heartbeats is a peer-to-peer, community-based heart event survivors support group that supports cardiac and heart event survivors, their families and whanau.

We are an informal group that supports and educates its members and the broader community in heart disease and heart health management - we are all about "sharing the journey".

Heartbeats often has guest speakers along to our meetings, such as doctors, physiotherapists, pharmacists, dietitians and psychologists: all of whom are involved in heart disease and heart patient management.

The guest speaker at the Heartbeats Orewa meeting next Tuesday is
Dr. Peter Hall, MBChB, a well-known GP who has had his practice on the Hibiscus Coast for over 30 years. Peter is a great speaker and a very patient-focused doctor with a passion for community engagement.

He will be talking about arrythmias and irregular heart rate conditions as well as mental health and wellbeing following a heart event i.e. dealing with a life-changing situation.

WHEN: Tuesday 1st June at 10:00am
WHERE: Hibiscus Coast Community House, 214 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa (behind the Estuary Arts Centre and next door to the HBC Op Shop)

COME ALONG AND BRING A PARTNER OR A FRIEND. All are very welcome.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
