Better Choices, Better Health Program offered in Tilton, Laconia:

LACONIA — Sessions of Better Choices, Better Health, a 6-week workshop presented by LRGHealthcare Community Educators Melissa Rizzo and Carolyn Muller, will get underway starting Tuesday, January 8, at the NH Veteran's Home in Tilton from 12:30-2:30 p.m. and at the Taylor Community in Laconia starting Wednesday, January 16, from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

The definition of a chronic condition is a health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects. The term chronic is typically applied when the course of the disease lasts for more than three months.

This can include arthritis, chronic pain, asthma, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and other conditions that people live with on a daily or weekly basis, which significantly limit day-to-day activities. Those who suffer from a chronic health condition or know of someone who does can start the New Year off right by attending LRGHealthcare's Better Choices, Better Health 6-week workshop.

Better Choices, Better Health will help participants learn skills for living a full, healthy life with a chronic condition, learn to set weekly goals, and develop a practical step-by-step plan for improving health and quality of life.

A $25 donation is appreciated, but not required.
