This will be the second time the MHERV will visit Moree as part of its tour.
The purpose-built caravan is equipped with two consulting rooms and comes with a dedicated full-time registered nurse who conducts five-minute non-invasive tests on rural men.
The tests include blood pressure to check the heart, blood sugar levels to check for diabetes and cholesterol to check levels.

Men will also be provided with a bowel scan kit to do at home.
The van will be parked at Dippers Home Timber and Hardware store on the corner of Warialda and Frome streets in south Moree from 9am to 4pm on Tuesday, September 11 and Wednesday, September 12.
Moree Rotary Club secretary Mary Reiner said the van is available for all rural men and encourages them to take advantage of this free community service.
MHERV is a Rotary project supported by the Royal Freemasons’ Benevolent Institution (RFBI), Mazda Australia, Electrodry carpet dry cleaning and the state government.
During its 2017/18 tour, MHERV visited almost 60 rural and regional centres in NSW, each for around two days. The van travelled about 15,500 kilometres and screened more than 2,000 people.
