Did you make a resolution to live healthier in 2014?
Let's work together to stay on track.
Put on by the Church Pension Group and the Medical Trust, this event offers practical advice and tools for keeping in good health. The summit is intended for Medical Trust participants (lay and clergy church employees and their families) but all are welcome.
Come evaluate your current lifestyle and learn about positive changes to make that will support you for years to come. Meet other R.I. Episcopalians who are looking to live healthier. Maybe we can hold each other accountable. A (healthy) lunch will be served.
RSVP for this event online. Can't attend? Visit CPG's website for tips on living a healthy life.
