A wellness class will be offered by Marion County Department on Aging once a week for six weeks at 1:30 p.m. beginning July 25 at Hilltop Manor Community Room, Marion.

The last class will be Sept. 12.

The program, developed by Stanford University, helps people improve their quality of life by learning valuable techniques to cope with symptoms and frustrations of living with a chronic condition.

The class is open to anyone with diabetes, pain, lung disease, heart disease, or arthritis, or their families or caregivers.

The cost of the class is $6 but no one will be denied because of inability to pay.

Registration is required and due July 22. For more information or to register, call (620) 382-3580.
