Classes run for 2 weeks and focus on behavior modification to help you quit tobacco products. Call us today to begin your "Tobacco-Free" life, and make that bad habit history!

Healthy Heart Class
Reduce your risk of heart disease through proper nutrition and lifestyle changes. This two and a half hour class covers it all. The class focuses on reducing cholesterol and salt in the diet. You can pick up a low fat or low salt cookbook. Physician referral & pre-registration required.

Diabetic Nutrition Class
The Conversation Map session is used to engage those with diabetes or pre-diabetes in a meaningful discussion on how to manage this disease. It is interactive and invites participants to share their experiences while learning ways to achieve optimal blood sugar control through healthy eating. Physician referral and pre-registration required.

John and Kate Minus Weight Program

Studies have shown dieting alone does not work and exercise alone does not work. But together, a correct nutritional program along with an individualized exercise prescription is the best plan for overall health and weight loss success. Mrs. Kate Jennings will analyze your current caloric intake and provide scientific based facts on how to adjust your eating habits to achieve your goals. Mr. John Walters will calculate your existing fitness level and prescribe an exercise program tailor made to meet your fitness needs. All interested members will also be monitored on a monthly basis checking not only your weight, but also your body composition (Body Fat Percentage and Body Mass Index.) Let John and Kate take the frustration out of the equation.

Stress Management Class
Learn skills and techniques to manage stress. For an appointment call 677-3733.
