Holiday STRESS Got You Down?

Indian Stream Health Center's
Women’s Health Program had an evening program on:
December 8, 2011
from 6pm-8pm in the Community Room.

 

Typically the holiday season can be a very stressful time in a woman’s life. ISHC provided guests with tips to guide them through a “Stress Free Holiday Season”. Light, healthy refreshments were provided.

 

The evening was introduced by Dr. John Fothergill who discussed healthy living and osteoporosis. Greg Lamm followed with Stress Management and how to relieve stress during these tough times. Wrapping things up was Francine Bigney talked about heart healthy eating, and some yoga and exercises that encouraged participants to stay on track during the holiday season and even after the holidays. 

October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month
