[ORDiabCoalition] Living Well Forum

[Chondra M LOCKWOOD]

In case you haven't already seen the announcements on the Living Well
listserv, or otherwise - the Living Well Forum is coming up!  And we
encourage you to consider attending, especially if you are currently
involved with chronic disease self-management programs. 

 

The 4th Annual Living Well Forum will be taking place on Thursday,
March 5, 2009 at the St. Charles Medical Center in Bend.  

 

Forum highlights will include:
·   Opening plenary with Dr. Nancy Whitelaw, Senior Vice President,
National Council on Aging
·   Media advocacy workshop with Cathryn Cushing, Oregon DHS
·   Outcome evaluation workshop with Katherine Smalley, Yakima Valley
Farm Workers' Clinic and Sharon Johnson, OSU Extension Services
·   Panel discussion on engaging diverse populations in self-management
programs

·   Release of new statewide marketing and quality assurance tools

 

Registration information and a draft agenda are available online at
http://oregon.gov/DHS/ph/livingwell/forum09.shtml.  We encourage you
to register as soon as possible, but since we know that sorting out
schedules takes time, registration will remain open until February 20th.
 

 

We also encourage you to share this information with your partners,
especially those interested in chronic disease self-management
programs.

 

Please contact Cara Biddlecom, Living Well Coordinator at
cara.m.biddlecom at state.or.us or 971.673.2284 if you have questions
about the Forum.
