     Welcome to the web page of our Community Wellness Education Department!  We are just one of the many reasons that Meadows Wellness Center is so much more than just a gym.  As the Department Director, it is my mission to help you achieve your wellness goals.  Our classes and events are geared towards health promotion and disease prevention, as well as focusing on specific issues we know are critical to many of you, such as heart health and diabetes. I invite you to join us at our beautiful Meadows Wellness Center and feel free to submit suggestions and ideas for future offerings.  We know that achieving and then maintaining your best personal fitness level can be a challenge. 

     Remember, we're here to help!

Diabetes Mini-Workshops

     Each month we offer a comprehensive class to help give diabetics the tools to help them manage their blood sugars.  This free program includes a healthy breakfast, lunch and snacks and lots of good information given in a casual, easy-to-understand manner.  Spouses and family members are encouraged to attend. Although there is no charge, you must pre-register. Contact: Sharon Proctor RN, CDE 912-277-2058

 

Diabetes Support Group

    Everyone can use a little support now and then and it is certainly true with diabetics.  We meet each Monday night at 7pm for good information and networking.  It's always important to keep up with the newest information as diabetes management is ever-changing.  Remember, you really probably only see your physician 60 minutes each year.  Who do you think is managing your blood sugar the other 8765 minutes that year?

 

Total Joint Replacement Classes

     Have knee or hip pains kept you from doing the things you love?  If you have been thinking about total joint replacement, you can get all the information you need by coming to our monthly Total Joint Classes.  Learning how to prepare your body, and especially your home can make your rehabilitation experience a successful one.  For dates and times call Sharon Proctor at 277-2058

 

Toombs County Alzheimer's Caregivers' Support Group

    Alzheimer's disease affects 20 million Americans.  Join with others in our monthly meetings for information, networking and just plain fellowship.  The group meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm.


Cabbage Patch Classes 

    This award-winning series of 8 classes covers so much that you need to know as an expectant parent: Healthy Pregnancy, Nutrition, Breastfeeding, Newborn Care, Parenting, Car Seat Safety and much more!  Presented at no charge, you must pre-register to attend.  Designed to help combat Toombs County's high rate for low-birth-weight babies, we offer incentives along with information designed to encourage both class and pre-natal doctor appointment attendance. This class runs year-round. To register call Sharon Proctor at 277-2058.
