AHS Offering Support Programs For Those With Chronic Disease

LETHBRIDGE – Those looking for resources to deal with a chronic disease are being invited to join AHS for six weeks of public workshops designed to improve quality of life.

AHS “Better Choices, Better Health” is a six-week series of workshops designed to support Albertans living with ongoing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, high blood pressure, obesity, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, Crohn’s disease, colitis, celiac disease, mental health concerns and others.

The workshops are led by AHS health care professionals or trained volunteers, many of whom also live with a chronic disease.

Since those living with chronic conditions often deal with similar day-to-day challenges, the program provides an overview of tools and techniques common to all chronic conditions, rather than any one specific disease or condition.
