Diabetes Support Group Meeting at Veterans Memorial Hospital
The Veterans Memorial Hospital Diabetes Support Group will hold its next meeting on Thursday, January 15, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. The meeting will be held at Veterans Memorial Hospital in the Large Conference Room, located on the lower level of the hospital.
Two new clinic providers will be presenting at the meeting including Angela Taylor, Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, who will talk on the “winter blues” and way to combat them, including red light therapy. Angela joins Tara Fink and Janet Hunter in providing mental health services in both the Waukon and Postville Clinics.
Dr. John Swords is also going to present at the meeting to discuss weight loss for people living with Type 2 Diabetes. Dr. Swords joined the Waukon Clinic in November and has already been very busy.
This diabetes class is open to everyone who has diabetes or has a friend or loved one with diabetes. In case of inclement weather, the Diabetes Support Group will cancel if Allamakee Community School is closed. If school starts late, Support Group will still occur as usual. Attendees are encouraged to stay home if they feel the sidewalks or roads are too slippery to safely go outdoors.
