Chronic Disease Self Management Program

Put Life Back Into Your Life.
Consider attending a Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions Workshop.

You’ll get the support you need, find practical ways to deal with pain and fatigue, discover better nutrition and exercise choices, understand new treatment choices, and learn better ways to talk with your doctor and family about your health.

If you have conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, chronic pain, anxiety, or others, the Living a Healthy Life Workshop can help you take charge of your life.
