Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC), will host its monthly cancer support group on November 21, from noon to 1:00 p.m. CRMC’s Hanna Christenson, RDN, LD, will present “The Truth Behind Common Nutrition Myths”. Nutrition recommendations have evolved over time, and fad diets along with diet culture have led to a lot of mixed messages. She is debunking the myths. The group is an opportunity to share experiences, support one another, listen, and learn. Cancer Support Group meetings are held monthly on the third Thursday, with a soup and sandwich lunch. Each month a different topic related to cancer is highlighted. There is no cost to attend, but those planning to attend should e-mail [email protected] or call 218.545.4454. Participants can also attend the support group virtually. Send a message requesting a meeting link to [email protected].

The EMT course is designed to prepare individuals to be part of a career-based, emergency care team. EMTs typically partner with other EMTs or Paramedics on an ambulance crew but can also assist in caring for patients in hospital emergency departments, including the Emergency Department at CRMC. New this year, we will be completing a hybrid learning experience. With this model the class will meet onsite one night weekly with additional required course work being completed independently at a structured pace. This will allow some flexibility for students, however all students are required to actively participate in all course work/assignments without exception.
