Taking an active role in your health care can help you get the best care possible from your doctor. You show up five minutes early for your doctor’s appointment and wind up waiting 20 in the lobby and another 10 in the exam room. As you hear your doctor approach, you ready yourself. If you’re lucky, you have the next 15 minutes to voice your concerns, be examined, receive treatment recommendations and ask any questions. When you consider you’ll spend only a small portion of that 15 minutes talking, you better have your well-rehearsed speech ready and anticipate your doctor’s questions in advance.

Sound familiar? At 1 p.m. Thursday, the Senior Center is hosting Maximizing your Doctor’s visits. Come to this informative seminar to learn tips to help you make the most out of your doctor’s visit. Presented by Jerry Rosenblad. Please sign up by stopping by the front desk or calling 507-433-2370.

Come early for lunch on Thursday. We are having a walking taco bar in the coffee shop starting at 11:30 a.m. Start with Doritos or Fritos then add all the fix-ins. Get your walking tacos, ice tea or lemonade and a brownie for $5.

You may not be old now, but if you’re lucky, one day you will be. We look forward to seeing you at our many programs at the Senior Center. Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday, July 12th we are having Turkey Potpie hotdish for only $2.

You are always welcome at the center. See you here!
