Dallas County residents are invited to participate in a new health workshop series starting this evening.

Dallas County Hospital and the county public health department are partnering together for the Better Choices, Better Health program.  The weekly interactive series takes place over six weeks at the hospital in Perry.  Topics covered will help people learn how to take control of their health, particularly those living with ongoing health conditions.

Experts will talk about how to manage mediations, deal with depression, eat healthy, control pain, fight fatigue and manage stress.

Each session lasts about two and a half hours, and family members or support persons are also encouraged to attend.

The first workshop is tonight at 5:30pm at the Dallas County Hospital.  Pre-registration for the series is required.  To sign up or get more information call Jen at 993-3750 or visit DallasCoHospital.org.
