ST. JOSEPH — An area hospital will offer a class on living with a heart condition.

Lakeland Health will offer “Living Well with Heart Failure,” a free class for community members about congestive heart failure, a chronic condition characterized by the heart’s inability to meet the blood flow needs of the body.

The program will take place from 5 to 6 p.m.  on Tuesday, April 3, in the Community Room at Center for Outpatient Services, located at 3900 Hollywood Road in St. Joseph.

Participants will learn to identify common causes and symptoms of heart failure, as well as new daily routines that can dramatically improve one’s quality of life, according to Lakeland Health officials.

Preregistration for the class is required; call (269) 556-2808 or (866) 260-7544. Visit lakelandhealth.org or find Lakeland Health on Facebook or Twitter for more classes and events.
