• Eat well and exercise safely

What is it? This six-week workshop teaches practical skills for living a healthy life. It is designed to complement your medical care. Learn how to manage your daily symptoms including: pain, fatigue, stress, poor sleep, shortness of breath, and physical limitations. The two hour classes, taught by trained leaders, are fun and interactive. All participants receive a copy of the book, “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions.” Cost is $10, scholarships are available.
