Disease Prevention as a focus

Health promotion and disease prevention focuses on keeping people healthy.  It is an essential element to you and to your family’s future health.

The aim is to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviours, and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic (ongoing) diseases together with associated domestic, family, social, financial and other health problems.

General practice is in a pivotal position to deliver preventive healthcare.  It includes the prevention of illness, the early detection of specific disease, and the promotion and maintenance of health. The partnership between you, your family and The Clinic 279 can help people reach their goals of maintaining or improving health.

The RACGP states that around 32% of Australia’s total burden of disease can be attributed to modifiable risk factors.
