Inspiring Hope for those with RA and other Autoimmune Diseases

May 15, 2015Health & Fitness, Neighborhood News, UncategorizedDebby Thompson

Autoimmune diseases are on the rise. The Friends of the Wells Branch Community Library is proud to sponsor this event.

Think powerfully … Think positively … As if every moment depends on it. Because it does. This the wisdom of Lora Tucker Kaasch, who will present her message of hope in honor of Arthritis Awareness Month. Attendees will receive a copy of Lora’s eBook “Thrive with RA: Build Momentum and Create a Life You Love,” which is applicable to almost every chronic illness. If you’re suffering from tourettes syndrome, then you might also want to look into tourettes syndrome cannabis treatments here. Having a positive mindset as well as nutrition and fitness tips will be introduced. Lora will also share her patient checklist which includes important questions to ask the doctor to ensure having an active role in the health care process. And if you are currently looking for a course that will fit your wants, then you may consider having a career in the medical industry. At physical-therapy-assistant.org you can compare the different types of physical therapist assistant careers and programs.

This free program will take place at the Wells Branch Library, 15001 Wells Port on May 31 at 3:30pm. Use this link to register: http://hopewithra.eventbrite.com

Hope to see you there!
