Deschutes County Health Services is excited to announce upcoming dates for the Living Well with Chronic Conditions program. This six-week workshop teaches practical skills for living a healthy life. Learn how to manage daily symptoms, including: pain, fatigue, stress, poor sleep, shortness of breath and physical limitations.
The program costs $10 and will meet over Zoom on Fridays from 2-4pm, from April 23 through May 28.
The Living Well with Chronic Conditions program is for anyone who lives with a long-term health condition like arthritis, asthma, depression, fibromyalgia or diabetes. Although there are many chronic health conditions, challenges and symptoms are often similar.
This six-week workshop teaches participants how to manage symptoms and medication, work with their healthcare team, set weekly goals, problem-solve effectively, improve communication, relax and handle difficult emotions, eat well and exercise safely. Self Management complements medical care.
The two-hour classes, taught by trained leaders, are fun and interactive. All participants receive a copy of the book Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions.
Living Well Central Oregon is a regional program serving Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson Counties in partnership with the Central Oregon Health Council.
