Beginning this summer, Riverwood will offer a national prevention program called I CAN Prevent Diabetes. This community-based, lifestyle change program offers diabetes prevention education for people with pre-diabetes or who are at risk for pre-diabetes.
Meeting with a trained Riverwood instructor, you will learn how to create a healthier lifestyle and prevent diabetes. Participants will get information on how to lose weight, eat healthier and increase physical activity.
Classes will be offered for 16 weeks on Tuesdays, from June 4 through September 17, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Riverwood Healthcare Center in Aitkin. The cost for the I Can Prevent Diabetes program is $75. Those who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes may use their flexible spending account to pay this fee.
Space is limited but there are still openings. To register for this program, call Riverwood’s Diabetes Center at (218) 927-8281.
