Better Choices, Better Health®: Living Well

Self-Management Workshops

Chronic health conditions can keep you from doing what you love.

Better Choices, Better Health®: Living Well workshops are for people with any lifelong health conditions. These sessions are open to adults ages 18 or older and their caregivers. Join a workshop if you have a chronic condition such as:

  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Chronic pain
  • Depression
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • Lung disease
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)

There are three versions of the workshops available: Chronic conditions (for a variety of conditions), diabetes and chronic pain.

These free workshops will teach you how to take small steps toward a healthier life. They create a supportive environment and offer a sense of community. You’ll learn how to reduce your pain, increase energy, work with your doctor on a treatment plan and get the most out of the activities you love.

If you have any questions, please contact us at bcbh@sanfordhealth.org or (701) 417-4905.
