University Physicians - Green Meadows to offer Healthier Living classes University Physicians-Green Meadows Family Medicine Clinic will offer a “Healthier Living: Managing Ongoing Health Conditions,” class beginning Friday, Jan. 25, 2008, at the Green Meadows Family Medicine Clinic, 3217 South Providence Road in Columbia. The six-week class will meet weekly from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the Green Meadows Family Medicine classroom and focus on helping participants with ongoing health conditions live a full and healthier life. Nurse partners and practitioners from the University of Missouri’s Department of Family and Community Medicine will lead the class. Participants will learn to lessen their frustration with their conditions, increase fitness and self-confidence, decrease fatigue, manage both pain and medications, and improve functional abilities to live a healthier and more fulfilling life. Past participants have benefited from the class while living with conditions like arthritis, heart disease, asthma and bronchitis. “Healthier Living: Managing Ongoing Health Conditions,” is based on the chronic disease self-management program developed by Stanford University. The book, “Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, Third Edition,” is used in the class. Participants are encouraged to purchase the book, but some copies will be available on a loan basis. The class is free and open to the public. Participants are encouraged to attend all six sessions. If you have questions or would like to register for the class, please contact Michele Walker at (573) 882-9097. |
