Leading Advocate for Chronic Pain Sufferers to Present at Sun Valley Lodge

Sun City, Arizona – Thursday, October 25, 2012 – Sun Valley Lodge is thrilled to offer three opportunities to meet America’s premier advocate for those suffering from chronic pain.  Helen Dearman will be visiting the Lodge on November 7^th and 8^th to discuss the special needs and concerns associated with aging and chronic pain.

The public is invited to join us on Wednesday, November 7^th and Thursday November 8^th for Helen’s presentation entitled “Living & Aging Successfully with Chronic Pain”.  Her goal is to educate and empower those with pain and to help them manage their own situations.  Both programs will begin at 9:00 AM. 

On Thursday November 8^th at 1:30, Helen will lead a roundtable discussion that will include Hospice of Arizona’s Dr. Walter Nieri and other health professionals.  This is a great opportunity to hear from and ask questions of medical personnel about living – and aging – with chronic pain.

SVL Director of Marketing Mike Kloberdanz said, “Helen is informative, informational, and inspiring.  The Lodge is absolutely thrilled to be able to offer a speaker and advocate of this level to the community.” 

Helen Dearman is the founder of the National Chronic Pain Society, radio host, frequent TV panelist, speaker, and author.  She has dedicated her life to helping people who, like herself, have to live with chronic pain. 

She has suffered with chronic pain for over three decades.  In her recent book, Pain Tamers, Helen writes about her own experiences with endless doctors' appointments, tests, procedures, medications and 11 surgeries to repair damage to her spine resulting from a fall.  Pain Tamers is a valuable compendium of information from medical professionals, sound advice, first-person accounts and resources - all aimed at informing, empowering and equipping the person living with chronic pain. 

These events are free and open to the public.  Please call (623) 933-0137 to reserve a seat.
