Cohort 1:

Course completion through 3/2020 will periodically have updated meetings to review and encourage one another on our life journey and efforts at maintaining a lifetime of healthy behaviors.

Current public health restrictions for groups over 10 persons (for COVID-19 safety) have required us to temporarily postpone any community education endeavors as originally planned in our group setting.

We are exploring virtual group meeting options and will post updates here as they become available.
