Just about everyone has one or more chronic health conditions that impact daily living.
The key is managing the symptoms. “Living Well with Chronic Conditions” is the Stanford University Chronic Disease Self Management Program offered as a HealthLink resource. You and your loved ones will learn skills to manage your symptoms so that you can live your life your way.
Topics covered include stress management, goal setting, managing the symptom cycle, communication skills, working with your healthcare provider, proper nutrition, managing medications, and fitness, as well as techniques for better breathing
Training will be provided by MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital – HealthLink, Tuesday evenings 6 – 8:30 pm beginning March 25 through April 29.
