Chronic diseases have taken over as the primary causes of death in the developed world, and yet we seem ill-prepared to deal with them in our current healthcare system. But there is a silver lining in the bad news: we often can change our health by modifying our lifestyle. And the changes don’t necessarily have to be big. We will talk a bit about the positive messages of Mr. Rogers, as his small actions had a mighty effect!

LET’S TALK THE WALK!
