RE: Arthritis/Fibromyalgia Special Community Seminar
DATE: September 23, 2008
The Redwood Area Hospital Arthritis/Fibromyalgia group will not
be having its usual monthly meeting in October. Instead of
hosting a monthly meeting, the support group is encouraging
those with Arthritis or Fibromyalgia to attend “Osteoporosis,
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Their Differences” which is being held
at the Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center in Marshall, MN on
Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 10:00am. This free community
education seminar is being presented by Dr. Kara Peterson from
Avera Medical Center.
Space is limited and advanced registration is recommended. To
register or for more information, call the Arthritis Foundation
North Central Chapter at 1-800-333-1380. All attendees will be
provided with a certificate of attendance. This seminar is part
of the Prescription for Health and Wellness Series and is
sponsored by the Arthritis Foundation.
The next monthly Arthritis/Fibromyalgia support group meeting
will be held on November 11, 2008 from 2:00-3:30pm at the
Redwood Area Hospital and will focus on exercises for the
arthritic hand. The purpose of this group is to provide
information about arthritis and fibromyalgia as well as
fellowship and friendship. All information provided will be in
accordance with the Arthritis Foundation Guidelines.
Leaders of the group are Maydra Maas, RN, CNS and Jo Kratzke,
Group Leader/Facilitator.
