CLIFTON — Tarleton State University nursing students, in collaboration with Goodall-Witcher Healthcare Foundation, will offer two free diabetes information seminars on Tuesday, Nov. 10, in the classroom at Goodall-Witcher Hospital.

The first session will be at 3:30 p.m., and will be in English. A Spanish presentation will be offered at 5 p.m. Each session will last approximately one hour.

Tarleton State University nursing students will present these seminars to help diabetes patients understand the importance of diabetes management.

Diabetic-appropriate refreshments will be served.

“This is a great opportunity for individuals with diabetes in our community,” said Kenneth Lowrance, RN, FNP-BC, Vice-President of Goodall-Witcher. “These students have extremely valuable information to share. I would encourage everyone with diabetes to take advantage of this free offering.”
