Lunch & Learn: Colon Health


To wrap up Colon Health Awareness Month, Juniper Village at Brookline recently hosted a Lunch and Learn session in collaboration with community health care partner, Penn State Hershey. Over a light lunch of vegetable kale soup and salad, LPN Erin Keen tackled the very important topic of colon health.

As part of her easy-to-follow presentation, Erin discussed the necessity of a healthful diet and exercise in maintaining optimal wellness. Warning signs of several common colon-related illnesses, including colon cancer were addressed, as well as the steps one should take if experiencing any of the outlined symptoms.
