The Department of Health’s Chronic Disease Control Program will host a series of free six-week Virtual (ZOOM) Chronic Disease Control Sessions designed to help people living with chronic conditions take control of their lives.
Common chronic conditions include diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, pain, anxiety and other chronic illnesses. People living with these illnesses and their caretakers are encouraged to sign up today because spaces are limited.
The workshop will teach people how to:
■ Eat well and exercise safely
■ Cope with pain and fatigue
■ Explore new treatment options
■ Talk with their doctor
The classes will start on Tuesday, Feb. 22, and will continue every Tuesday until March 29. Attendees can choose morning or evening classes: 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
To sign up, email Lyña Fredericks at lyna.fredericks@doh.vi.gov. People can also call 774-7477 ext. 5675 or 718-1311 ext. 3798 and leave a voicemail.
