sessions will be held in the

ventist Church gym from
6:30-8 p.m. on the first

and is intended for general
education, not medical ad-
vice.
Gary Fletcher of Lex-
ington is the coordinator
of the workshop. Fletcher
is a retired RN, PA-C who
has a passion for sharing
his knowledge. Aside from
years of experience treating
diabetes following the med-
ical model, Fletcher shares
the story of how he reversed
his own diabetes. Dr. Ken
Wenberg of Heppner and
others are partnering with
Fletcher in this workshop.
Diabetes topics that
will be covered are defi-
nition, causes, nutrition
and scientific principle in
lifestyle.
The workshop will
consist of a learning time,
questions and answer time,
and a food sample at each
meeting.
