Alberta Health Services (AHS) is inviting local individuals to attend supportive health information workshops that are helping Albertans make positive adjustments to their lifestyles.

The workshops are offered as part of the Alberta Healthy Living Program (AHLP), an AHS initiative designed to promote healthy living and provide easy access to helpful information. The AHLP workshops cover a range of information, including heart health, weight management, nutrition, diabetes care, chronic illness management and more.

All AHLP sessions are led by AHS professionals who share their expertise in group discussions and provide support and encouragement to participants. More than 140 educational workshops will be offered throughout AHS Central Zone. Each workshop is free of charge.
