Participating in monthly calls is an opportunity to share ideas and provide encouragement and support to each other on challenges and successes one experiences while seeking and actively participating in exercise programs.
The teleconferences are facilitated by Toni Kodner, a volunteer with extensive knowledge of MS and wellness. They will be the last Thursday of the month from 7-8 p.m. Each month a guest speaker will also share expertise on a specific topic. The Wellness Network is free and provides resources to a wide variety of people with MS of all abilities. It is also helpful to those who are new to seeking out wellness opportunities and need some guidance and direction.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Wellness Network, please call 1-800-344-4867 or visit our website to register for the monthly calls.
