HANCI repeats Living Healthy series by popular demand
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y., August 16, 2011 – Due to strong demand, the Health Association of Niagara County, Inc., is repeating a free, six-week series that helps older adults manage chronic conditions and enjoy better health. According to HANCI, 48 people have already completed the program when it has been offered before.
Living Healthy helps participants to live well with any chronic condition. Participants learn to manage pain, fatigue and depression. Other topics include fitness, nutrition, self-confidence, wise use of medications, and communication with doctors and other health professionals.
The series will run from 4:30 to 7 p.m. each Tuesday from Sept. 6 through Oct. 11 at HANCI, 1302 Main Street in Niagara Falls. Healthy snacks will be served at each session.
The program is based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management program developed by Stanford University. Two members of HANCI’s staff have been certified by Stanford as master trainers.
Advance registration is required. Interested individuals can sign up or learn more by contacting Jimmy Rowe at 285-8224, ext. 131, or jimmy.s.rowe@gmail.com.
