The "Gift of Hope Appeal" embodies the true spirit of Christmas and is a way for our community members to reach out to those who may be less fortunate and offer a little extra love and support when it's needed most.

If you'd like to be a part of our "Gift of Hope Appeal" and help us bring smiles to the faces of these wonderful children, come into reception at Iona Medical Centre and pick a tag which identifies a child by age and gender who you can then buy a gift for or you are welcome to drop in a gift for a child aged 0-17.

Please leave your gift unwrapped because there is a list of specific children who have been identified as likely to go without a gift this Christmas.

This serves as a way to promote women’s health at the practice and to educate women on the importance of regular breast checks.

If you notice anything unusual, make sure you book an appointment with your GP as soon as you are able to - Early detection can save your life.

Iona Medical Centre are taking part in the Hope for our Children 'Bags of Hope' appeal as a collection point for all donations.

Hope For Our Children’s ‘’Bags of Hope’’ program is dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of children transitioning care, fleeing domestic violence, refugee children and others facing challenging situations. Their mission is to provide them with essential items to ease their journey and inspire hope for a brighter future.

For children undergoing the challenging process of transitioning care or fleeing domestic violence, Hope for Our Children recognise the importance of providing them with a sense of security and comfort. Their Bags of Hope for these children are thoughtfully curated to include specific essential items. They aim to ensure that these children have the essentials they need to feel safe and cared for during their transition period.

If you would like to donate items or cash, you can drop into Iona Medical Centre to do so.

You can also donate online using the link below.

Wear pink this month in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Each year, over 21,000 people in Australia will be diagnosed with Breast Cancer. That is 58 people every day.

Although the survival rate is around 92%, there is still much progress to be made.

We hope this post serves as a reminder to the importance of performing self-checks regularly and attending an annual breast screening with your GP. Furthermore, if you notice anything unusual, make sure you book an appointment with your GP as soon as you are able to - Early detection can save your life.
