The series is designed for residents, caregivers for family members of people living with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, chronic pain or obesity.
During the workshop, attendees will learn ways to manage their health and create “action plans” to get results. The Living Well series is an evidence-based chronic disease self-management program developed at Stanford University. It is led by trained volunteers and proven to help individuals with an ongoing health condition lead healthier, more satisfying lives.
Participants learn strategies for gaining control over their condition, connect with others battling similar health issues, and ultimately learn how to accomplish more and feel better.
The workshop series will be held on Mondays from 1 to 3:30 p.m., from May 9 to June 20, with no class on May 30. The program is free, but registration is required. For further details or to register, contact Sarena Chisick at (845)-279-5711, ext. 2702 or email her at schisick@health-quest.org.
The Living Well program is part of Putnam County’s Community Health Improvement Plan, and is a joint initiative of the Putnam County Department of Health, Putnam Hospital Center, Putnam County Office for Senior Resources, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Hudson Valley.
The Health Department’s mission is to improve and protect the health of the Putnam County community and its nearly 100,000 residents.
