Kellyn Hosts Fourth Lehigh Valley Lifestyle Medicine Symposium

TATAMY, Pa. - Rezul -- Kellyn hosted its fourth Lehigh Valley Lifestyle Medicine Symposium, "Changing the Game: Preventing and Reversing Chronic Disease," on May 2, bringing together educators, healthcare professionals, students and community leaders to learn about lifestyle medicine interventions. Held at Bethlehem Area School District's Northeast Middle School, the Symposium featured local and national speakers combining didactic presentations with hands-on experiential learning to provide a comprehensive exploration of how healthy behaviors and supportive community environments shape health and well-being.

"For too long, health care has focused primarily on treating disease after it develops," said Dr. Meagan Grega, co-founder and chief medical officer of Kellyn. "Lifestyle medicine allows us to move beyond disease management by nurturing optimal health while preventing, treating and reversing chronic disease. When we support healthy habits, strengthen communities and make the healthy choice the easy choice, we create the conditions for people to truly flourish."
