Foundation 49′s unique Decades of Life health assessment program takes the health care to the worker – rather than hope men will take themselves off to their GPs for annual health checks. What better way to reach Australian men than at work?
We help identify risks and early warning signs for cardiovascular disease, cancer, mental and sexual health problems.
The program allows an initial age-specific health assessment, and then a more detailed assessment, should warning signs be identified.
According to the man’s individual health status and age, the program suggests changes he might make to his lifestyle to prevent illnesses developing.
Positive ideas are offered to help each man improve his health. Not only is he likely to live a longer and healthier life with his family and mates, he’ll miss fewer working days and be more productive.
The Decades of Life program is a unique health assessment because:
- it is gender specific, focusing very clearly on the health issues that face men;
- it is provided by a not-for-profit, Foundation 49. The price is set to only to recover the costs of providing the service and aims to be accessible to the whole workforce
- it is an online assessment which makes it easy to use, but we also know the huge benefits of men having a chance to discuss any issues or concerns they may have with a nurse face-to-face – also a part of our program.
