Mount Auburn Hospital Presents Chronic Pain Self-Management Program

A 6 week class starting March 14th

Some medical conditions cause patients to experience long-lasting pain. These sensations can cause frustration, fatigue, isolation, and poor sleep. But they don’t have to. Mount Auburn Hospital recognizes these difficulties and has developed its Chronic Pain Self-Management program to help patients learn strategies to cope with this difficult condition. This spring, the hospital is pleased to present a six-week class developed by researchers at Stanford University Medical Center. Participants will work on improving their quality of life, communicating more effectively with their providers, and learning techniques to handle stress and improve their energy levels. They will also receive a copy of the book, “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Pain,” as well as an exercise CD.

This program will be hosted at Mount Auburn Hospital.
