NORWAY — Are you tired of being tired, anxious or in pain? Build confidence around managing an ongoing health condition with a six-session Living Well for Better Health workshop.

Learn about handling pain and fatigue, eating well, fun ways to get active and tips for talking with doctor and family.

Developed at Stanford University, the safe, supportive workshop, led by Robin Green, LSCW, and Sharon Nightingale can help people take control of their problems and re-start their life.

The Division of Family and Community Medicine in the School of Medicine at Stanford University developed, tested and evaluated the program and found:

People demonstrated significant improvements in exercise, cognitive symptom management, and communication with physicians, self-reported general health, health distress, fatigue, disability and social/role activities and limitations, spent fewer days in the hospital and trended toward fewer outpatient visits and hospitalizations

Living Well for Better Health will be offered from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays, May 28 to July 2, in the Stephens Memorial Hospital Boardroom, 181 Main St.

The program is free, but registration is required. Space is limited; call 743-1562, ext. 6896, to register.

Stephens Memorial Hospital is a Leapfrog 2013 Top Rural Hospital and is a member of MaineHealth. Visit Western Maine Health at www.wmhcc.org.
