January 23: Better Health/Better Choices Program
Better Choices, Better Health is a program developed by Stanford University for people who suffer from chronic health conditions and their care providers. The skills learned in the workshop help them manage their condition. While there is no cure for most chronic health conditions, making better choices can help to live better with them and possibly to help prevent them from getting worse. The program is offered worldwide by many organizations for a price. Locally it is offered by Sanford Health at no cost. If you would like to learn more, join us on January 23 at 2:00 p.m. in The Gathering Place for an explanation of the workshop.
