A new campaign, ‘Healthy New You’, has been launched in Three Rivers aimed at helping residents to embrace healthier lifestyles as we step into the new year.

The campaign seeks to spread awareness of the health services available to residents at the Three Rivers Healthy Hubs.

The council’s Healthy Hub scheme is a one-stop shop for all things health and wellbeing, offering a variety of services, including:

Free NHS Health Checks

Regular assessments to help identify potential health risks and encourage preventive action.

Sexual Health Information and Advice

Confidential guidance on sexual health and relationships.

Stop Smoking Services

Personalised support to quit smoking and embrace a smoke-free lifestyle.

Mental Health Support

In partnership with Herts Mind Network (link here), the Healthy Hub provides resources and assistance to promote emotional wellbeing.
