VRMC Wellness Programs

VRMC Foundation

Our wellness programs are held September through May of each year.    If you wish to be on our mailing list, please call Sharon at 749-9415 or e-mail at sharonh@vrmc.org

All wellness programs will be held in the Virginia Regional Medical Center McMillan Auditorium (located in the lower level of the Medical Arts Building) unless noted otherwise.  Dates and topics are subject to change.  Pre-registration is required for all programs at least two days prior to each seminar.  Call (218) 749-9415 or e-mail to  sharonh@vrmc.org to pre-register or if you have any questions about our programs.  Register early; space is limited.  Registration fee is $10 which includes the lunch.  The fee is payable at the door.  Occasionally, the classes are filled to capacity and a waiting list is created.  If you have registered and find you cannot attend, please call (218) 749-9415 and cancel your reservation.  Your seat can then be given to someone on the waiting list.

Finding the Cause of Your Gastrointestinal Discomfort

If your belly baffles you on a regular basis--gas, bloating, you name it--don't just live with the discomfort, find out the cause.  Dr. Rutka will talk about some of the common causes of gastrointestinal discomfort such as irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, diverticulitis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and lactose intolerance.  He'll discuss signs and symptoms, what's causing the discomfort, and how to feel better.
