Living Well Central Oregon - Putting Life Back In Your Life!

Do you or someone you know live with an ongoing health condition that affects daily life? Living Well Central Oregon, a low-cost, chronic disease self-management program, is designed to complement and enhance medical treatment and disease management by building patients' skills and confidence in managing their own health. Living Well program participants meet six times in weekly 2 1/2 hour workshops, led by trained lay leaders, who often have an ongoing health issue themselves. Each session explores a different topic, such as how to deal with physical symptoms like fatigue or pain and with emotional issues like anger and depression. Participants learn effective communication techniques (with family, friends and healthcare providers), tips for easy and safe exercises, appropriate use of medications, better sleep techniques and healthy eating guidelines. By the end of the program, participants have the tools to lessen disease-related problems and a long term action plan to continue managing their health condition effectively.
