Lakeside airs medical education seminars

Lakeside Memorial Hospital's successful series of Community Educational Seminars will air on Cable 12 West, community access for the western suburbs of Rochester. These programs, which are sponsored by the Family Wellness Center, will air every other Wednesday evening from 8 to 9 p.m. beginning on April 6.

Lakeside's medical staff is committed to enhancing the health of its community not only in treating patients, but by providing information to help prevent medical conditions which may lead to serious health problems. Physicians have been offering free educational seminars to the community since last spring.
