Highway to Health

Griffin Health is helping individuals make changes for improved wellness in 2026 with its free Highway to Health this February.

Highway to Health is an 8-week lifestyle change program designed to empower individuals to take ownership of their health with lifestyle medicine knowledge and skills. Lifestyle Medicine is a unique medical specialty that focuses on using evidence-based approaches in healthy eating, managing stress, enhancing regular physical activity and restorative sleep, and fostering meaningful social connections and support systems. All of these lifestyle factors help prevent and manage chronic conditions to dramatically improve one’s quality of life.

Topics covered in Highway to Health include the principles of exercise, introduction to culinary medicine, mindfulness and behavior change through yoga, sleep hygiene and understanding stress. The program is led by Exercise Physiologist Bern Fitzsimons, C-EP, and Griffin Center for Healthy Living Director Michael Desjardins and will include trusted information and instruction from Griffin health experts.

This session will be Wednesdays Feb. 4, 18 and 25, March 4, 18 and 25, and April 1 and 15 from 5-6 p.m. the Center for Cancer Care, 350 Seymour Ave., Derby.
