Age, Breath on Agenda at Hospital

Castle Medical Center intends to ease the sometimes-terrifying phase of life called aging and also address modern struggles with healthy breathing in two free seminars next week.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required at 263-5400. Light, healthy refreshments will be served at both events.

• Aging Safely at Home — 5:30 p.m. Feb. 11, addressing the natural changes of getting older and how to modify the home in order to remain there as long as possible.

• In Sickness & in Health: Don’t Stress about Respiratory Distress — 6 p.m. Feb. 13, information on how air quality, vog, secondhand and thirdhand smoke affect breathing. E-cigarettes also will be discussed.
