Many people rely on doctors and hospital emergency rooms to deal with routine medical issues which they are often capable of managing or preventing for themselves. This medical series, coordinated by FBC member and Richmond Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Terry Whipple, is designed to help people understand common health issues and adjust their lifestyles for longer, safer, healthier existence.

The most recent session was a Saturday symposium dealing with medical issues of the bones and joints, November 5, 2011. Watch this page for news of the next session.
