Heart health the focus of well-attended U3A presentation

THE U3A Nambucca Valley welcomed a packed house for a health presentation on Wednesday 20 August at the Nambucca Arts Centre.

U3A members and guests gathered for an engaging and educational session led by Virginia Joyce, a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Cardiopulmonary Chronic Care from Macksville Hospital.

Assisted by Shannon Marr, Virginia delivered a comprehensive on heart health, explaining the heart’s vital functions, the importance of diet and exercise, and procedures available for those that experience heart failure.

Attendees were provided with helpful handouts and stayed engaged throughout the session, which concluded with a lively Q&A.

An afternoon tea followed the presentation, giving participants time to chat and reflect on the information shared.

The success of the event has set the stage for the next health presentation scheduled for Wednesday 17 September at 2pm, once again at the Nambucca Arts Centre.

This time, the focus will shift to women’s health, with clinical nurse Annette Heather as guest speaker.
