Struggles and Solutions
Lifestyle Change for a Healthier Future! Struggles and Solutions is a group lifestyle coaching program. We all want to be healthier and have a healthy lifestyle, but where do we start and how can we be successful? Even if we know what we should be doing, it can be difficult to make those changes.
Each month, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist will lead a discussion on an interesting, timely and immediately useful topic about food, activity, stress and wellness. Let us help you get motivated, break down barriers, set goals and change your lifestyle. If you have STRUGGLES we can help you find SOLUTIONS.
We're here every month, but come as often as you'd like. Grab a friend and join us.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.

Facing a knee or hip replacement can be a daunting task that many would like to put off, sometimes indefinitely. But we have found that the more our patients know about the preparation for surgery, hospitalization and recovery, the more comfortable they are about the procedure. And their outcomes are usually better, too. Therefore, we assembled a team of experts who have thoughtfully created services, educational materials and special amenities to make the joint replacement procedure as smooth as possible. Often our patients' only regret is that they didn't have the procedure sooner.
This class is held the first Wednesday of each month at 12 noon and third Wednesday of each month at 4PM.
