Groups to support your health goals.
Your health is important, and Erie is here to support your health goals. We offer several health education groups to support you in your journey to manage your health. Our Health Promotions groups and classes are opportunities to learn about certain health conditions and healthy habits to prevent and take care of them as well as to find community among individuals and families working on their own health goals. Many of the groups are open to the community.
