The Kansans Optimizing Health Program (KOHP) is putting on a FREE workshop in Hays from February 7 to March 14.

This workshop is geared toward adults age 55 and older who have ongoing health conditions.  The program will help you develop a step-by-step program to improve your health and your life.  You will find practical ways to deal with pain and fatigue, discover nutritional and exercise options, learn about new treatments, and get some advice about things to talk about with your doctor and family regarding your health.

If you suffer from diabetes, arthritis, high blood pressure, heart disease, chronic pain, or anxiety, this is the FREE workshop for you!

The workshop will be held from 4:00pm to 6:30pm each week through this 6 week period.  Registration must be completed by February 1 and the workshop will take place at HaysMed.

For information or to register, check out this KOHP Newsletter or call 785-623-5900.

Where are you from?

I grew up in WaKeeney, KS, just an hour away from Plainville.  As a member of the MCL I visited Plainville often for sports activities.  My dad was Marlin Locke, who grew up in the Stockton and Natoma area, and I love to hear the stories my patients share with me about my family!  After high school I headed to South Bend, IN, to attend the University of Notre Dame before returning to Kansas for medical school.  I am currently finishing up school in Wichita, and, random fact, I live in the old Wichita High School building.  My apartment used to be the science classroom, which I find very appropriate as science is my favorite subject!
