Memorial Hospital in Chester is offering a new wellness class series called The Learning Table.

Sarah Noennig, licensed clinical social worker, is covering topics regarding "Mindfulness" in October and "Creating Healthy Routines" in November.

Following her 45 minute class, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Melissa Soellner will follow up with topics regarding "10 Diabetes Tips" in October and "Legalize Holiday Foods" (how to change up your recipes or meals) in November.

Anyone is welcome to attend one or both of the back-to-back classes, held the first Wednesday of the month at Memorial Hospital. A light lunch is served during Noennig's classes and guests are welcome to stay and attend Soellner's classes following.

The next event is scheduled on Oct. 3 with Noennig's class running from 12-12:45 p.m. and Soellner's class following from 1-2 p.m. Attendees of the first series in September stated that, "What you do for yourself today, you will benefit from tomorrow."

These classes are designed to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle while making educated choices to start the holiday season off with workable strategies. The classes are designed for anyone looking to make changes to live a healthy, happier life.
