Steps to Healthier Living with Chronic Disease

In partnership with the Kansas City Regional Arthritis Center at Saint Luke’s Hospital and the University of Missouri Extension, the Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Disease Self-Management Program is being offered at the Thomas Eagleton Civic Center in Richmond, MO. The program was developed at Stanford University.

The program is highly participatory. Mutual support and success builds participants’ confidence in their ability to manage their health and to achieve or maintain active and fulfilling lives.
