FARMINGTON — Healthy Community Coalition of Greater Franklin County is offering two drop-in information sessions on Healthy Lifestyle, a program of MaineHealth that is implemented in partnership with the National Diabetes Prevention Program.
This program is available to any community member for a fee, and to Franklin Community Health Network employees and their spouses or partners who are covered by the MaineHealth medical insurance plan free of charge. The program is not designed for people who have already been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
Healthy Lifestyles is a diabetes prevention program from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that teaches lifestyle changes to prevent Type 2 diabetes.
The year-long program will help participants learn how to eat healthier, be more physically active, and manage stress; develop skills to make healthier choices to lose weight; and get long-term support to stick with the changes. Instructors will include Ellen Thorne, Cheryl Moody, and Sabrina Lopizzo.
Anyone interested in learning more about the program can stop in at his or her convenience from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, in the Chisholm Room at Franklin Memorial Hospital.
RSVP to Ellen Thorne at the HCC by email ethorne@fchn.org or call 779-2357.
