healthy diet, behavior modification and exercise to create a
successful weight-loss plan, will be offered at Sarah Bush Lincoln

help people achieve a lifetime of sustained and healthy weight.

modification techniques, lifestyle managementtopics and
support.

The next informational meeting will be at 6 p.m. Feb. 9 in the
Lumpkin Family Center for Health Education at Sarah Bush Lincoln
