Heart disease is one of the most pressing health issues for residents in the Buloke, Loddon and Gannawarra shires. Risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking, obesity and low levels of physical activity are high across the three shires when compared to state averages, giving further cause for concern.
A new campaign, 'Know Your Risk' is being rolled out across the three shires urging people to take matters back into their own hands.
