In a continuing effort to arm seniors with health-related programs and information to help them lead healthy lifestyles, the Center for Healthy Aging at Kimball Medical Center will host an informational breakfast on October 2 from 10:30 to 11 a.m. entitled “Dietary Supplements ... Multivitamins and Beyond.”

Participants will enjoy a light breakfast as Sara Ali, MD, a board-certified geriatrician and the medical director of geriatrics at Kimball, reviews and discusses the top 10 dietary supplements and common misconceptions regarding the need for supplements.
