New Year’s resolutions are easily broken. We love to start fresh and commit to change but it is difficult to stick with it as busy as things get. This January’s C.O.R.E. (community outreach education program) at VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital is designed to help you plan with uncommon resolve for a healthier new year in a fun way. 

Join us on Jan. 31 from 4:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the C.A.R.E. Building education classrooms for blood pressure screenings, a session on coping with laughter with chaplain Joanne Bedford and a vision board presentation by Jeanette Grimes with the nonprofit South Hill Aglow and LEZEAL Enterprises.

“So many people in our faith community put others before themselves,” Bedford said. “Sometimes you just need to take an evening and focus on your health. We hope to be a blessing to those who attend.”

Attendees will receive information on the eight dimensions of wellness and resources are available through CMH and LEZEAL Enterprises. Participants are invited to consider or create a vision board focusing on healthier outcomes for the new year. Materials for the vision boards and refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP to kristy.fowler@vcuhealth.org by Jan. 26.
