Support Groups
Humboldt General Hospital and Dr. Hind Elsanousy have created a support
group aimed at helping men and women enjoy a healthy, fit and balanced
lifestyle. The "Healthy You Support Group" will meet at 5:30
p.m. each Thursday in the HGH Sarah Winnemucca Conference Room to conduct
weigh-ins, discuss goal setting, diet and exercise tips, struggles and
successes, questions and answers, and generally provide support for positive
health changes. Additionally, monthly "Healthy Year, Healthy You"
workshops are held from noon to 1 p.m. the third Thursday of each month,
also in the Sarah Winnemucca Conference Room. Topics range from weight
loss to fitness, mental health and managing stress. There is no charge
to attend and lunch is served. Both men and women are invited to participate
in all activities related to the "Healthy You Support Group."
