ENGAGING "YOU" IN YOUR HEALTH





Guests: Pat Guttenberg, Program Coordinator, Madison Senior Center
Connie Jicha, Clinical Educator, Home Health United
Julie Hitt, Health & Wellness Manager, Home Health United
 

The first HEALTH and RESOURCE FAIR at the Madison Senior Center, 330 W. Mifflin St., is Thursday, September 13, 9 - 11:30 AM. Pat Guttenberg describes the many health screenings, resources and presentations available free to the public - important information and services people are encouraged to pursue. More details at www.MadisonSeniorCenter.org.

Why is this important? Connie Jicha and Julie HItt from Home Health United point to the power people have to protect and maintain their health. Chronic Disease Management is one example. Lifestyle changes are the greatest force in managing them, and behavior change comes from 1% medical management and 99% self management!

Fall is also Flu Shot Season - important protection for everyone 6 months or older. You will hear about the 2012 protection. For HHU's public clinic schedule, call 608-241-7279 or visit www.homehealthunited.org.
