| Pathway to Change is a program to help you lose weight and lower your health risk factors through education and support. A new session will begin on Wednesday, April 11, 2012. Lectures will be presented by dietitians, RN’s and exercise physiologists.
The program is held weekly on Wednesdays from 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm at the Center for Rehabilitation on Wellness at 1375 Yauger Road.
