2015 Bridge to Wellness Expo
|
Saturday,
November 14, 2015 On November 14, 2015, the American Diabetes Association of Western Pennsylvania will introduce a new expo, Bridge to Wellness (BTW) focusing on wellness information, health resources, and interactive experiences. Bridge to Wellness provides a forum for intensive exchange of questions and answers about health issues, proactive measures, wellness and where necessary, disease-state prevention and management. Research continues to prove that healthy, active lifestyles enable people to live longer with a higher quality of life, enhancing communities and reducing healthcare expenditures. While addressing the needs of those individuals living with diabetes, and other related disease states, with state-of-the-art clinical services, we need to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities through prevention and management. Focus areas for Bridge to Wellness include: Diabetes: Prevention, Managements, Eyes, Feet, Kidneys, and Heart Health Active Lifestyles Back Care Respiratory Issues Cancer Prevention Dental and Oral Health Stress Management First Aid & Emergency Preparedness Substance Abuse Tobacco Cessation Recreational Safety Humor & Health Benefits Women’s/Men’s Health Issues
