“Over time we've gotten to know Piyara from the Wellness Van, and she knows us too now. That means a lot to us. Psychologically, it makes you feel like someone is looking out for you. Things you've been worried about for a long time, you can finally talk about.

This service is really good, especially for people like us who can't always get in to see a doctor, or who worry about things like blood pressure and have no one to talk to. It helps having someone there.

She always gives us little tips and helps us with what to take or do. I wouldn't have gone to the doctor about my blood pressure, but she told me it was high, and now it's under control.

After COVID, it's been hard to get appointments — doctors are too busy. Having this in the community… it really helped me heaps.”
