Health & Wellness

The mission society is currently working with Hales Corners Lutheran on pulling together a ten-part educational series designed especially for those that are elderly, but young at heart. This series is designed to cover areas of nutrition, exercise, medication and various other topics that will be presented by nurses, physicians and other health personnel. We are looking for medical personnel who would be willing to assist, but would be paid a stipend for their participation. The first set of educational seminars will be scheduled for Mount Olive Lutheran Church which is centrally located within Milwaukee. We would also like to provide the same series set at both a south-side location and also a north-side location. Please contact our executive director at 414 502.1503 to discuss your involvement or send him an email at g.lessmannjr@sbcglobal.net.
