STAYING HEALTHY IS IMPORTANT FOR SENIORS

Staying healthy means you can make the most of your life as you get older. There are many health-related issues associated with ageing including diet, exercise, heart conditions and diseases. Parkes GP offers a broad range of general health services including preventive health, chronic dis- ease management, podiatry and osteopathy. If you’re over 65 you can get free influenza (flu) and pneumococcal vaccinations.

The 75+ year old annual health assessment is a comprehensive health check that can give your GP a better picture of your current health condition and medical needs, and will consider physical, psychological and social factors that may be affecting your health and well-being. Parkes GP is open six days a week and is a bulk- billing practice.
