In response to the escalating epidemic of chronic disease in our community, Kellyn Foundation and St. Luke's University Health Network will hold the second annual Lehigh Valley Lifestyle Medicine Symposium on March 28, 2020 in partnership with the Bethlehem Area School District at Northeast Middle School.

Join us as we explore current evidence-based strategies for diabetes and
