Arthritis program - To combat a disease that affects one out of five adults, the Arthritis Foundation is busy promoting upcoming awareness and fundraising events.
The first will be the "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes" program from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at The Landing at 2801 S. Michigan St., South Bend.
It will consist of several information sessions on different aspects of arthritis and prevention.
"We are hoping to call attention to this disability and teach appropriate disease management," Beth Harsch, branch director of the Indiana Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation, said.
"Mostly doctors are presenting, but we also have a dietitian, personal trainer, acupuncturist and other volunteers."
The sessions include "Living with Arthritis," "Gardening and Arthritis" and "Oh, My Aching Shoulder!"
