My health for life (MH4L) is a free behaviour modification program that is offered by health professionals to patients who are deemed to be at risk of developing chronic diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. The program was introduced into communities with the aim of introducing healthy lifestyles to individuals within each region.
Continuing to be implemented across the Darling Downs and West Moreton region, MH4L recognises that everyone is different when it comes to staying active and living a healthy lifestyle. The program understands that joining a gym or special “diet” foods aren’t for everyone and that receiving on going and valuable support is a major factor into achieving a healthy lifestyle.
My health for life partners with GP’s within the region to provide patients with the opportunity to participate in an evidence-based lifestyle modification program. The facilitators involved are trained health professionals who have a keen interest in preventative health, including exercise physiologists and dieticians. By having easy access to industry professionals, participants are able to remain informed about lifestyle risks and factors as well as understand how to action their health goals appropriately.
Participants within the region can self-refer or be referred by their GP. All of the referrals made by a GP will be sent to the MH4L team at Diabetes Queensland via Medical Objects or fax 07 3506 0909. Although it is recommended to receive a referral from a GP, they can also be made by an allied health professional, a practice nurse or by contacting MH4L directly via their website or on 13 RISK.
