If you are curious about the rise in
gluten-free products at the grocery store and aren’t even exactly sure what
gluten is, you are not alone. Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s SE*ED program
will explore this topic on Monday, June 1, with Elaine Hammes, MS, RDN, LD,
GRMC dietitian. The program meets at 10 a.m. in the Caulkins Community Room at
Drake Community Library. All are invited to this free program. Refreshments are
served beginning at 9:30 a.m.
For people who live with Celiac disease these
products are necessities. It is estimated that 3 million Americans have Celiac
disease. Celiac is an auto-immune disorder and not a food allergy.
Looking forward on the schedule, Susan
Sanning and Saunia Powell will present, “Social Justice in Sub-Saharan Africa –
Grinnell Prize Winners,” on June 8. On June 15, GRMC will welcome Tom Gallo,
PT, speaking about the new F.A. Jones Physical and Occupational Therapy Center.
Parking is available at the Drake Community
Library, along Park Street, on Fifth Avenue, and in the First Presbyterian
Church parking lot.
Seniors needing transportation may call GRMC
Communications and Development, 641-236-2593 by Thursday before the program.
If you are a person with a disability who
requires special assistance,
