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.

A Big Sortout and Re-Organisation
Visitors to the 'Health In Our Hands' Centre will see some big changes to our room's layout. With increasing numbers attending the centre we had to find some more room to cater for our exercise groups.
With the freeing up of some small areas, we have re-organised our storage area and can now boast a much-needed exercise area that is available to our various group leaders.

Male Out - A Complete Success...
Health In Our Hands has once again actively participated at the 2013 Male Out function at the UniSA on Sunday, June 16th, 2013.
Paul and Mary Holmes with John and Brenda Groffen staffed the stand during the morning and afternoon.
We were kept busy throughout the day answering questions and taking names for our exercise sessions and up-coming Pathways programs.
With material rapidly running out towards the end of the day, it was deemed a successful day and well worth being a part off. Thanks to UniSA and Gary Misan for letting us be a part of it. See you all again next year.

Pathways Through Diabetes COMPLETED!
Another successful course completed... The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program or as we call it the 'Pathways Through Diabetes'. The feedback we have received from our workshop participants are that they gained knowledge about how to use and apply the tools available to them in the toolbox to manage their condition.
With the positive feedback we have recived, we, as leaders, are spurred on to continue to provide these free workshops to the Whyalla Community.
