THE Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club is continuing its annual support for Diabetes Australia by bringing essential diabetes care directly to the local community.
Lions has always supported Diabetes Australia and each year has been involved in raising money for the service.
As part of the Sunshine Coast Hospital Health Service, the Footprints – Walking on Country Diabetic Foot Bus will visit Maleny Showgrounds on Tuesday, March 4, from 9am-1pm.
This free program offers foot screenings conducted by nurses who will also provide expert advice on foot care, diabetes education, and ongoing support.
Diabetes remains a major health concern in Australia, but early detection and treatment can prevent complications.
Locals experiencing foot-related concerns linked to diabetes are encouraged to attend.
