EXERCISE physiologist Shanaye Alexander has headed to Inglewood to start her allied health career.
Shanaye graduated from La Trobe University Bendigo last month and wanted to practice in a rural community.
“I grew up in Nhill, I like country life,” she said last week.
Shanaye will be working with Inglewood and Districts Health Service patients and clients living with chronic disease, using exercise and lifestyle recommendations to help them maintain a quality of life.
Also joining IDHS last week was cardiopulmonary nurse Michaela Murray.
Michaela said providing a cardiopulmonary outpatient service would reduce travel and improve access for people in the area.
She will run eight-week programs for patients recovering from heart attacks or with cardiovascular or respiratory lung diseases.
“People will be able to access services locally instead of travelling,” she said.
