October - December 2019 www.hulthealthy.org 1

Happy Fall, Encore Members!I am very excited to share with all of you the upcoming Encore events to close out 2019 and ring in the New Year! We will continue to offer our quarterly programs related to safe driving, iPhone/iPad series, and Medicare classes to name a few. Check out a new class addition – Eating Right! A one-hour class, which includes a short nutrition lesson, fun activity, and healthy recipe.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) will be starting another group on Tuesday, October 8th, 2019 (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM) at the Hult Center. DPP is a year-long program designed for people who have Prediabetes or are at high-risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The program is not intended for people who have an existing diabetes diagnosis. If you are looking to make modest lifestyle changes to improve your health and reduce your risk for chronic conditions, be sure to check out this program!

We will be holding our annual Fall Healthy Cooking Demonstration at Hy-Vee in Sheridan Village on November 5th at 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM. Please call Hult Center for Healthy Living at 309-692-6650 to register in advance.

Encore, as you know it today, will change. The adult health programs will continue to exist, however, with staffing and budget changes the Encore program offerings will be scaled back and the Encore name will be eliminated. Seniors on the Go will move from a monthly event, to a quarterly event. We will still offer Wellmobile screenings, premier presentations, and bingo. Stay tuned for more details to come in the January newsletter! Please know that our focus and commitment on adult health will continue to be to help empower you to live a healthier life.

As always, please be sure to register for adult health programs in advance by calling (309) 692-6650 or by going online to www.hulthealthy.org.

All the best, Ellery Losby, RDN, LDN Health Education Specialist elosby@hulthealthy.org
