Health In Our Hands is a community based and operated organisation run entirely by volunteers. We work in partnership with our local hospital. Our activities are all based around Chronic Disease Self-Management and in particular the Stanford Model for which we hold a licence. Our centre has a room at the Whyalla Hospital which is open to the public five days per week. The centre also runs some of its programs at other locations in the community.

Celebrating 10 Years
And what a celebration it has been. Health in Our hands, which commenced on 15th May, 2002 has been working in the Whyalla community for 10 years. Celebrations were held with:
* A luncheon for the participants at the Centre’s room at the hospital
*A dinner for the volunteers at Roopena and
*A function at the UniSA Whyalla Campus for specially invited guests and the volunteers
The UniSA function was organised by Kate Warren and her staff at the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School. To say that all three functions were successful would be an understatement.
A special gift was presented to the four original members still active at the centre for their 10 years of service. The presentations were made to Paul Holmes, Mary Holmes, Chris Broadhead and Colin Stephens.
When Paul was asked whether he would still be there after another 10 years, he laughingly replied that he hoped that he would still be around to still be taking part.
Paul thanked all the volunteers who have worked so hard to make the Health In Our Hands a success and thanked the current volunteers for their dedication and hard work.
