The next offering for LCHC Healthy University will be a special diabetes education event. LCHC Healthy University is proud to welcome 2009's new major sponsor, Johnson Machine Works. Additional supporters of LCHC Healthy University include Chariton Family Medical Center and Hy-Vee Distribution Center.
