CHRONIC DISEASE SELF-MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
|
Iowa Healthy Links Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is a Stanford University
evidence-based program for adults that have chronic conditions such as heart disease,
diabetes, and emphysema. Do you experience fatigue, frustration, pain and/or limitations?
If so, there is a healthy way to live with a chronic illness and overcome the physical
and emotional problems caused by the disease.

MATTER OF BALANCE |
|
The Polk County Health Department in partnership with Aging Resources of Central
Iowa, and Polk County Senior Services is implementing an evidence-based fall/injury
prevention program, “A Matter of Balance” in the community. A Matter of Balance
can help reduce the fear of falling and increase the activity levels of older adults
who have concerns about falling. Classes are taught by lay led coaches twice a week
for four weeks for two hours.
