My Health Story (MHS) was thrilled to be invited as ‘a fellow dedicated health care provider’ to the inaugural Health Festival of Geelong last week.
The event was a unique opportunity to focus on Health Promotion and increase health literacy.
Organised by a team of clinicians, the Health Festival of Geelong was a chance for all stakeholders (patients, carers, professionals, allied healthcare workers, specialists, Government, and more) to discover resources in the region of Geelong Victoria, all in one day.
It worked!
Not only were resources discovered by visitors but each of the exhibitors used the event to connect and plan future collaborations and embrace the Health Festival of Geelong’s powerful motto of ‘Empower Your Health, Empower Your Life‘.
We were so happy to present at this fabulous festival and we met so many other providers who had setup their own services who also had the experience of misunderstanding in care.
They were experts in ‘using your brain with ADHD’ sexual and pelvic health, market gardens, psychology (online!), mental health, exercise (Keiser and Wellteam for men), and so much more.
The fantastic presenter next to us was Catherine Hannah, she not only focuses on poetry as a means of care but she understood sensory issues and had tinted glasses and ear pieces that could help lower the effect of loud noise and bright lights.
It was a highly successful event and MHS look forward to 2025 which is already on the agenda.
Our gratitude and congratulations go to Banksia Medical Centre’s Jenny Huang – the main organiser of the event.
If you live around Geelong Victoria, you should definitely look into the Banksia Medical Centre as they are attentive, innovative and pioneering – as their mission states.
