Last stop while I’m in Tennant Creek and I’m visiting with Anyinginyi Health Aboriginal Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyinginyi Health Abo\u00adrig\u00adi\u00adnal Cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adtion (AHAC) pro\u00advides pri\u00adma\u00adry health care ser\u00advices to Abo\u00adrig\u00adi\u00adnal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Ten\u00adnant Creek and four small communities. They achieve this by providing a health service that covers general medical, dental, child and maternal health, women’s health, men’s health, diabetic care and renal care through a combination of medical, allied health and Aboriginal Health Practitioners. They can also access visiting specialists and allied health providers such as cardiac care, audiology, exercise physiologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and podiatrists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, AHAC’s public health team – Kalpa Purru Wirranjarlki<\/em> – delivers preventative and educational programs across the health spectrum including chronic diseases, sexual health, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, nutrition and smoking. Their Strong Families team – Piliy\u00adintin\u00adji-ki<\/em>\u2009- to improve the phys\u00adi\u00adcal, social and emo\u00adtion\u00adal health status of families by focussing on alcohol and other drugs, family violence, counseling and family support. They also assist indi\u00advid\u00aduals and fam\u00adi\u00adlies dealing with trau\u00adma and grief brought about by the forced sep\u00ada\u00adra\u00adtion of chil\u00addren from their families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
