Dear Friend of Jean Hailes

Janet Michelmore AO 
Director, The Jean Hailes Foundation.

Welcome to our second issue for 2004. I hope you enjoy reading our feature stories and continue on your journey to better health.

The Jean Hailes vision is about ensuring women have accurate health information to allow them to make healthy life choices.

We believe that the best way to do this is through a continuous chain of information that relates current research into education programs for women and health professionals across the country. It is also about consulting Australian women and health care providers, to address emerging health concerns for women and their communities.

From humble beginnings over 12 years ago in Melbourne, we can now proudly look at our record of health programs stretching right around Australia.

How do we do this?

Strong leadership and guidance from our dedicated Board, together with a vibrant team of highly skilled educators, researchers and clinicians who are passionate about women’s health, has ensured that the vision remains focussed. Yet, it allows for flexibility to both shape, and listen to, women’s health issues and trends.

While we do not have offices in each state, we establish national partnerships and relationships with health organisations, service providers, government, health professionals and local community organisations in far-flung places.

Speaking about relationships, I am delighted to tell you about an exciting partnership between The Jean Hailes Foundation and Tetley tea that we hope will benefit women Australia wide.

Tetley tea are committed to putting back into women’s health and approached us to create a general health and wellbeing website that is easy to navigate, simple to understand and life inspiring.

Together, we have produced an informative, educational and eye-catching website, designed specifically for women, providing practical advice and guidance on achieving physical and emotional wellbeing.

I invite you to visit www.tetleywellbeing4life.com.au and pick up some health tips and practical ideas to suit even the busiest lifestyle.

Finally, I would like to congratulate our Endocrinologist Dr Sonia Davison, who has won three prestigious national and international awards in recent months. These awards are for her work with the Sue Ismiel International Study into Women’s Health and Hormones. We look forward to releasing the results of this vital research during 2005.

As 2004 draws to a close, I wish you and your families a safe, healthy and happy festive season and all the very best for 2005.
