OPAH Launching a New Health & Fitness Project
Project LOLA has been designed to address the unique health needs of lesbian and bisexual women 40 and over and will be active in Columbia beginning Fall 2013. The 16-week program will provide participants with opportunities to engage in a variety of health-related activities in group and community settings with other women. It is a great opportunity to try out new ways of approaching health and contribute to what we know about health in the LGBTQ community!
Eligible participants are women 40 and over who self-identify as lesbian or bisexual, who are not at their optimal health, and who are interested in getting healthier. Anyone interested in getting involved can get more information about the project at 1-855-765-5223 or opah@missouri.edu.
