Lakeview offers fall health classes

Lakeview Hospital will offer several fall health classes on topics that range from from finding your way through cancer, dealing with kidney stones to understanding and deal with back pain.

Stillwater Medical Group urologist Dr. Tom Stormont and dietician Mary Miller discuss kidney stone prevention and how some stones can be treated locally with minimally invasive methods at Kidney Stone School from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19 at Lakeview Hospital.

Because kidney stones can be a recurring and lifelong problem, a comprehensive approach is best to treat stone "attacks" and prevent recurrence.

Back pain hurts - physically, mentally, emotionally and sometimes even financially. From simple sprains and strains to more serious problems such as a herniated disc, St. Croix Orthopaedics' Dr. Bruce Bartie will discuss different types of back pain and the latest treatment option at the "Oh, My Aching Back" free class from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20 at Lakeview Hospital.

"Finding Your Way through Cancer" is a four-week series for persons and their families dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Julie Edstrom leads the group, which meets from 7 to 8:15 p.m. on four consecutive Thursday nights Starting Sept. 22 at Lakeview Hospital.

The information is helpful to anyone experiencing the illness or a family member or loved one caring for someone facing cancer. Each week addresses an issue that most people confront at one time or another during their journey through cancer, including the new normal and making decisions.
