The latest Jean Hailes National Magazine is available now, featuring a range of health issues relevant to Australian women. In this issue, we focus on the choices women face about their health that can sometimes seem like a minefield of confusion. We bring you information on breast health, nutritional supplements and last but not least, relaxation.

With input from a range of medical and allied health experts, each article offers up to date information that is both fresh and evidence-based.
