World Heart Day is a reminder to everyone to take care of their hearts. This year’s campaign focuses on the essential step of knowing our hearts first.
When we know more, we can take better care, so we asked Dr Louise a staff specialist cardiologist at RBWH her top three tips on managing heart health.
♥️ See your GP or attend emergency if any symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations arise
♥️ Regularly check your blood pressure and cholesterol
♥️ Maintain a healthy lifestyle by quitting smoking, regular moderate intensity exercise and eating a healthy mediterranean diet
By making small changes to our lifestyle – what we eat and drink, how much we exercise, and how we manage stress – we can better manage our heart health and beat cardiovascular disease.
Awesome work
yes you are definitely amazing Louise 💐💐🌷🌷
Awesome 👍💯
Good work Louise 🫶🏻🫀
You are amazing Louise, love your work ❤️

For former RBWH patient Molly, there is plenty to celebrate - not only did she get to meet this year's Australian Idol winner, Royston, but Thursday September 14 marked four years in remission for the 22 year old. 🙌
Molly is a frequent visitor of the Sony YouCan centre at RBWH, a centre for young cancer patients and their families. She even gave a speech about her remarkable story at it's grand opening in 2019.
When Molly heard that Royston, was stopping by for pizza and chats ahead of his performance at the Sony Foundation Australia Brissy4Ward event last week, she was excited to come in and meet the pop star.
"It's so nice that other people are aware of what Sony are doing, and happy to give their time and be part of the community. Not just people with cancer," Molly said. 🥰
Well done.
