Stanford Small-Group Self-Management Programs - Click here to expand.

Better Choices, Better Health® is an evidence-based 6-week self-management workshop developed and tested by Stanford University.  The workshop does NOT replace prescribed treatment.  Instead, the workshop augments and supports medical-professional recommended treatment plans.  Patients learn skills to help them manage their health conditions and interact with their health care providers. Patients diagnosed with diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and a variety of other disorders may benefit greatly from this program. In addition to the disorders previously mentioned, Better Choices, Better Health® expanded to include a workshop specific to cancer.

Online classes are available at this time.  Visit Hawai'i Healthy Aging Partnership for more information.
