Sounds of laughter and joy could be heard coming from Verity Park where Parkhurst Clinic’s open day was held.

Community members gathered for free health tests including hearing, HIV, pap smears, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Educational health facts were also provided by the City Of Johannesburg and various other organisations.

Sister Hazel Mabulwana of Parkhurst Clinic said the day went well and was very productive. “I would like to thank everyone who came and all the sponsors,” she said.

“I also urge more people to join in next year at the annual open day.”

Staff of Planet Fitness demonstrated exercises that the community can do at home and the police’s K9 Unit showcased their dogs. The police’s Mounted Unit provided tranquillity as they brought their horses which community members could engage with.

“It was a great day interacting with the community and sharing information with them about the Parkview Police Station while they are doing something that is good for their health. This was also a fantastic way to get to know the community,” commented Sergeant Iris Phoko of Parkview police.

There were also various stalls set up which included Nedbank, City of Johannesburg Rehab Unit, the Department of Environmental Health and Metro police to name a few.
