Heartbeats Orewa Meeting Next Tuesday
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 banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
