Living Well Featured in "Retirement Outlook"
The Summer 2011 issue of "Retirement Outlook" published by the Department of Retirement Systems for retired public employees in Washington features an article about the Living Well with Chronic Conditions program.
The article below appeared in the Summer 2011 edition of "Retirement Outlook." Click here to view the newsletter in which the article appears.
Department of Health’s Chronic Disease Self-Management Program, also known as Living a Healthy Life or Living Well, was developed at Stanford University to help people with chronic health conditions live healthier lives.
The program is a workshop that people with different chronic diseases attend together. It teaches the skills needed for the day-to-day management of treatment and to maintain and/or increase life’s activities. When you attend a workshop in person or participate online, you’ll:
• Get the support you need
• Find practical ways to deal with pain and fatigue
• Discover better nutrition and exercise choices
• Learn better ways to talk with your doctor and family about your health
These workshops are available in communities across Washington State and are available either free or at a very low cost based on the ability to pay or insurance
benefit coverage.
