Walk for a healthy life. Walk with Ease, an Arthritis Foundation Program, offers support, information, and tools to safely make walking a part of your everyday life. Walking can help prevent and control high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, and help deal with urges to smoke. You can join a walking group led by a trained leader in your community or use the program workbook to walk by yourself. To learn more about Walk with Ease and register for a walking group, email us at: info.neca@arthritis.org
Our Mission
The California Collaborative for Chronic Disease Prevention mission is to provide community based programs to strengthen individual self-management behaviors and create environments that support individual lifestyle changes to prevent and reduce chronic conditions.
Living your best life means not letting arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, or smoking hold you back. Learn tips on how to manage your health conditions by attending a FREE Healthier Living workshop. Healthier Living workshops, developed by Stanford University, are designed to empower you to take small steps to make big life changes.
If you want to live your life to its fullest, no matter what chronic health conditions you may have, then sign up for a FREE workshop today!
Healthier Living workshops are led by two trained leaders. Leaders are individuals who may have chronic conditions themselves or have helped someone who is living with chronic conditions. Small group workshops are held once a week for six weeks for 2 ½ hours. Participants who have completed the workshops have expressed how helpful the information is to understand their symptoms and live healthier lives with chronic conditions.
