Wellness

Richard Hansen, retired physician, will present a 50-minute Wellness Program on Wed., Nov. 29, at 6pm at the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library (Whitewater’s public library at 431 W Center St, Whitewater).

During forty years as a practicing physician, Dr. Hansen developed a simple and practical approach to a healthy lifestyle, combining scientifically-based recommendations with a “common sense approach.” This program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
