Health Advocate and Workshops

A health advocate volunteer provides personal health counseling and education, blood pressure screening, and refers clients to appropriate community resources.  She also facilitates wellness of mind, body and spirit by coordinating a Wellness class for each Adventures in Learning (AIL) session and conducting periodic Health Workshops. 

She is available for health counseling and resource referral each Thursday during AIL sessions from noon-1pm in the Health and Wellness Center.  Blood pressures are routinely taken on Thursdays at AIL and prior to Lunch n' Life programs.  If you need advice or information on available community health resources call our office and we will have our volunteer contact you. 

These free workshops will help you take control of your medical care and improve your ability to handle the frustration, fatigue and feelings of hopelessness that often accompany life with a chronic illness.

We do not perform "hands on" procedures except for blood pressure screening and do not provide in-home care.
