Comunidad en Acción
Comunidad en Acción seeks to address the needs of our patients in their goals of weight loss by providing a safe, fun, and culturally appropriate program that encourages group support and emphasizes working with patients at whatever stage of change they are in. Change is hard, but it is not impossible with the right kind of support.
Comunidad en Acción will not only provide Zumba/Salsa instruction, yoga classes, Weight Watchers, and monthly health-related seminars, but will also work with patients who might have extra barriers to attending classes such as transportation and childcare. (Programming requires referral/Se requiere un referido)
