The Six Weeks to a Better Life Self Management Program is for people with ongoing health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, emphysema, heart conditions, high blood pressure, MS, etc., and their caregivers.

The Group will be facilitated by Ruth Fishbeck and Jodi Regan, of The Health Initiative, as well as Jessica Silberg, LMSW – Director of Social Services – and Helen Kennedy from The Auxiliary of E.J Noble Hospital.
Participants will meet at the E.J. Noble Educational Building from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday from August 24 to September 28. Participants are strongly encouraged to attend all six sessions for maximum benefit.
