Free 'Healthier Living' Workshop Starts Soon For Solano Co. Residents

News from Solano County Public Health Services:

Suisun City Library will host a free Healthier Living workshop series on Tuesdays starting March 1. Adults with chronic conditions and their caregivers are invited to attend five, weekly workshops from 1 to 3:30 p.m. March 1 through April 5 at Suisun City Library, 601 Pintail Dr., Suisun.

The free, interactive workshop is designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic health conditions ranging from arthritis to depression. Participants create an action plan to set goals, learn ways to better manage their health, increase mobility and manage pain, stress and anxiety.

Developed in the 1990s by Stanford University, Healthier Living is a highly acclaimed, peer-led program that has helped hundreds of Solano adults improve eating habits, increase their capacity to exercise safely, lose weight and succeed in controlling their chronic conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure.

Healthier Living workshops are sponsored by Solano Public Health with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For more information, call the Area Agency on Aging Serving Napa and Solano at (707) 643-1797 ext. 314 or visit cahealthierliving.org.
