| UNDERSTANDING THE LANGUAGE OF MEDICINE | Are you familiar with medical terminology such as atherosclerosis, atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and cerebral vascular accident? Do you ever wonder if you and your physician are even speaking the same language? You're invited to our monthly educational series entitled "Understanding the Language of Medicine." Each month, a different health-related topic will be explained in easy-to-understand language. Handouts with basic information will be provided and you'll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
Each session is held in the Craft Room from 10 to 11 AM.
