Heartbeats Takapuna Meeting
Heartbeats is a community-based cardiac support group for heart event survivors, their families and whanau.
It is supported by the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit at the North Shore Hospital and also works closely with the Heart Foundation NZ.
We are very inclusive and welcome ALL heart event survivors to come along and learn about heart disease and heart health management from the experiences of those who are on the same journey.
Heartbeats meets at the Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons Rd, Takapuna, on the first THURSDAY of each month, at 10:00am and we have regular guest speakers from the medical, pharmacy, physiotherapy and psychotherapy/counselling healthcare communities.
NEXT MEETING is Thursday the 6th May, at the Mary Thomas Centre, and our guest speaker is one of Auckland's leading dietitians, Anna Sloan, Reg. Dietitian, who will be discussing heart healthy diets and the important nutrients for heart health after a heart event: as well as the impact of medications in our dietary requirements.
Come along, bring a friend, and learn how to deal with and manage your heart health journey!

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