'Healthy U' talk on foot care planned in Derby

DERBY - As warm weather draws people to outdoor activities and sports, Griffin Hospital is helping individuals prevent damage to their feet with a free presentation May 14.

Podiatrist Dr. Luke Jeffries will present “Steps to Proper Foot Care,” a discussion about the best ways to care for feet and the risks and symptoms for foot injuries and disorders at 6:30 p.m. May 14 at Griffin Hospital’s Meditation and Learning Center, 130 Division St.

This talk is especially important for diabetics as the disease causes poor blood flow to the legs and feet, which makes it hard for a sore or infection to heal.

The event is part of Griffin Hospital's Healthy U “Tuesday Talks,” a series of free wellness talks featuring Griffin Hospital medical experts and community partners providing trusted health information and answers to questions on a wide range of topics.

All Tuesday Talks are held in Griffin Hospital’s Meditation and Learning Center at 130 Division St. Light refreshments will be served.
To reserve a spot or for information, call 203-732-1511 or visit griffinhealth.org. To find out about upcoming Tuesday Talks, visit griffinhealth.org/programsevents.
