Whether youre diabetic, youre caring for a person in one of the various stages of the disease or you simply want to maintain a healthy lifestyle Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital (SYVCH) in Solvang is offering free nutrition and diabetes education classes.

Beginning Sept. 1, the community hospital, located at 2050 Viborg Road, is hosting the classes to encourage healthy eating habits and diabetes management for all ages.

Led by clinical dietitian Stacey Bailey, the support classes will be held in the hospitals conference room (enter through the Physicians Clinic). No RSVP is required and participants can bring their own lunch to eat during class.

People have so many concerns about food types, preparation, diets and supplements, said Bailey, M.S., R.D. and C.D.E. Please join me as I share some tips during these informal, free classes.

Bailey, who joined SYVCH as clinical dietitian in August 2011, provides inpatient and outpatient dietary management and counseling services. She also assists in the formulation of meal and menu planning specifically for the hospital.

SYVCH reports it treated 72,000 patients through its 24-hour emergency departments and helped deliver 2,400 newborns. One-on-one nutrition sessions with Bailey are available with a doctors referral.
