Better Choices, Better Health - Ke Ola Pono
#1
I posted this in the events forum, but I hope it's ok to spread the word here, too.
I am a volunteer lay leader for this program. Since the support helped me so much, I am trying to get a group started for other folks in Puna, and we need a few more participants to join us.

Chronic Disease Self-Management Program

Topics include: goal setting and action plans, problem solving, fitness and exercise, medication management, effective communication, health eating, how to relax, evaluating new treatments

6 wk workshop for anyone with an ongoing health condition or their caregivers.

When: Wednesday afternoons, 1-3:30, from 1/16/13-2/22/13
Where: 14th and Paradise in HPP, UUs of Puna (turn R on 14th, white house on L)
Cost: No Fee!

Sponsored by the State of Hawaii and Hawaii County Office of Aging, preference to those age 60+, but not limited

Please give me a call to register so we can reserve your Living a Health Life book for you.

Is this a religious based program, or strictly science/medicine based education? And what is the UUs on 14th?

Hi Carol,

No, it is not religious, it is an evidence based self- management education and support program coming out of Stanford university. We are holding it in the Unitarian Universalist fellowship hall.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

This workshop was postponed until next Wednesday, 1/23 so that we can continue to register more participants. Please give me a call if you would like to join!
