Heartbeats cardiac support group for Heart Patients and Heart Event Survivors meets at Sunnynook Community Centre this evening at 7pm.
Heartbeats is the largest community-led, peer-peer support group for heart patients and 'heart people' in Aotearoa New Zealand. We offer mental wellbeing support, education and cardiac rehabilitation to heart event survivors everywhere. We are a non-profit, friendly and diverse group with all sorts of heart conditions.
Come along, bring a family member or a friend and meet other heart people who have experienced the same thing as yourself.. Its FREE and everyone is welcome.
"I really appreciate the Heartbeats organization for the information available and the experiences and perspectives of others. It is a valuable resource especially with the public system under so much pressure, it fills a gap and brings a sense of humanity into the equation of heart health care and wellbeing." - KP (Auckland)

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
33.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
65.2% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.
