RICHMOND - Richmond Area Health Center is pleased to co-sponsor a FREE Living Well for Better Health series starting Tuesday, June 25. Because ongoing health conditions affect so many adults, Spectrum Generations offers this interactive workshop series where participants learn tools to better manage their own health conditions. The Living Well workshop has also been shown to reduce hospitalizations by improving participants' ability to take care of their own health.
After completing a workshop series in New Portland, a participant shared, "I have met with both successes as well as things that still need work, but the goals remain locked in my mind, and I will continue working on them on my own after the class if finished."
Topics discussed during this six-week course include depression, medication use, nutrition, planning your future and how to talk to your healthcare provider. Classes run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday for six weeks. The class begins on Tuesday, June 25 and ends on July 30. The workshops will take place at the Golden Oldies Senior Center on 314 Front St. in Richmond.
