Connecticut VNA Partners Free Lunch & Learn Nov 25 at East Hartford Health and Rehab - Managing Diabetes During the Holidays - 10/28/2008

East Hartford, CT, October 28, 2008...... Connecticut VNA Partners and East Hartford Health and Rehabilitation Center are sponsoring a free Lunch & Learn program for the community entitled "Diabetes and the Holidays" to be held on Tuesday, November 25, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the East Hartford Health and Rehabilitation Center, 51 Applegate Lane, East Hartford.   The program will include a complimentary "heart healthy" lunch provided by the Center.

The holiday season can be a very difficult time for individuals with diabetes, as most family celebrations and holiday parties include an abundance of tempting - but not always the healthiest - food and drink choices.   Connecticut VNA Partners' dietitian Vicky Porter and Maria Santos, RN, will provide the educational program that includes practical tips to help people control their blood sugar and still enjoy the holiday festivities.

Reservations are required, so please call Mary Acquaro, Director of Admissions at the East Hartford Health and Rehabilitation Center, at 860-568-7520 by November 24 to reserve your space.
