Queensland, Australia: Considering the emerging trends of obesity and the resultant
prevalence of lifestyle disorders, Logan Hospital is implementing a community wellness
program, to be released on 2 nd November, 2018, which will aim to offer a variety of quality
health services for the purpose of management of such deadly diseases. Further, amidst a
backdrop of substantial lack of services, accessible by the community – Logan Hospital
claimed to include accessible, high quality and most importantly, affordable health promoting
community wellness program, for all. Logan Hospital has been well known in its provision of
effective healthcare services, especially concerning surgical treatments, rehabilitation
services, acute care and maternal health and hence, implementation of a financially feasible
and accessible health promotion setting, which will be open to individuals of all communities,
ethnicities and diversities will prove to be a revolutionary step for the institute, as proudly
claimed by their team of clinical professionals, who have been actively involved in the
formulation of the community wellness program.
With over 300 Australians being inflicted with the disease every day, Diabetes is amounting to
be a lifestyle disorder of considerable concern in the current. Considering the alarming
statistic of 1.7 million of Australians being inflicted with diabetes, the need of the hour is to
undertake an active approach for its eradication. However, healthcare services continue to be
unaffordable for many, compelling fellow Australians to often opt out of treatment. Hence, the
provision of a diabetes wellness program, free of cost, along with the adoption of a
multidisciplinary approach, will not only encourage treatment acquisition but also rapid
diabetes mitigation, as claimed by Matthew Hill, the lead clinician heading the team of
professional educators, endocrinologists, nurses, dieticians and psychologists.

“Every year, our hospital encounter countless patients and their families with various lifestyle
or communicable disorders, which often becomes difficult to accumulate. Hence, our novel
approach of a community wellness program will aim to promote a positive health changing
setting to a large number of citizens, at free or negligible costs”, said Martha Law, the senior
registered nurse of Logan Hospital, during the press release.
“Our hospital prides itself in providing quality health services, and the implementation of this
health promoting wellness program will pave the way for future community health
improvement and the future health of the country.
