Next Better Choices, Better Health Workshop Starts May 11

There is still space available for anyone interested in participating in the Better Choices, Better Health workshop (a Chronic Disease Self Management Program), that starts May 11.

The six week workshop will be held at Memorial Hospital and will provide the knowledge, training and skills that can help many patients with a chronic condition, disability, or disease, take better care of themselves and better manage any problems related to their chronic disease.
