LGBTIQ Senior Resource Information Project
With funding from the Area Agency on Aging of Dane County, OutReach is collaborating with a lesbian retired senior case manager to bring us information from several Dane County senior-serving agencies. Presentations will be held from June through December at OutReach, 600 Williamson Street, Madison. These events are FREE and open to the interested public. Refreshments will be provided.
June 30 (Wednesday) 3:00-4:00pm	Jane Nelson-Worel, a Nurse Practitioner from Meriter's Women's HeartCare Program and a WomenHeart champion (survivor of a heart attack) will tell us the risk factors for heart disease and tell us how we can prevent a stroke or heart attack.
