McKenzie Health System’s 2022 “Healthy Living…Together” to Share Education, Awareness, Fun and Community
Encompassing the value of healthy living and learning, McKenzie Health System’s virtual “Healthy Living…Together” event series focuses on a wealth of monthly hot topics throughout 2022. The first event, which event kicks off on January 19 with a focus on “How to Make Recovery Happen”, will be presented by Emily Quandt, LMSW, McKenzie Substance Abuse Recovery Program Case Manager. All events are free.
With the exception of a recorded event in December, all the webinars are live, with the chance to watch via Zoom or call in via phone, and all of them will be recorded and shared via McKenzie Health System’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Speakers will be on video so participants can see and hear them; participants will be able to type interactive questions and comments for the Q&A discussion.
“Our inaugural ‘Healthy Living…Together’ virtual series in 2021 was a great opportunity to bring the community together online, to learn about critical local topics and to get real answers to a variety of health-related questions,” said Louise Blasius, LMSW, LPC, Director of Human Services at McKenzie Health System. “We are proud to bring back another outstanding slate of health topics in the year to come!”
