The Western Illinois AHEC (located in Quincy, IL) is partnering with the Illinois Arthritis Initiative Partnership to offer the Arthritis Self-Help Course (ASHC) to rural Illinois residents via videoconferencing technology. The six week course will be offered at 12 Critical Access Hospitals beginning in September.

The ASHC course is for people with arthritis or fibromyalgia. Self-help means being able to learn and use different skills to help manage pain, remain independent, achieve a fulfilling lifestyle, and manage the emotional challenges of arthritis and fibromyalgia.

2008 Class:

March 11, 18, 25, April 1, 8, and 15 from 9:30-11:30 a.m.
