In this informative panel discussion featuring local providers, the main topic of discussion was chronic disease and the audience was encouraged to ask questions on ways to prevent and manage chronic disease. Six in ten Americans live with at least one chronic disease, like heart disease and stroke, cancer, or diabetes.

Members of the distinguished panel included Shawn Comfort from Action Toward Independence who is a co-facilitator of the Chronic Disease Management Self-Management Program, Dr. Bruce Ellsweig from Crystal Run who is a family practitioner in Rock Hill, and Melania Fontanez from Hudson River HealthCare who is a Diabetic Educator.
