Listen to Frank Dudgeon's interview with Dr. Douglas Woolley. Listen to the Growing Old Gracefully: Men's Health Issues lecture. As we enter 2006, we find that one of the fastest growing segments of the population in Kansas is the elderly – those in their 70s, 80s and beyond. While the aging process may bring you, or those you care for, a greater susceptibility to disease and injury, there are ways to stay fit and engaged. You're invited to join us to find out more about the possibilities for a full and active life, as Wichita Public Radio, the University of Kansas School of Medicine – Wichita and the Medical Society of Sedgwick County continue the Live & Learn Lecture Series at 11:30 a.m. on January December 10. Dr. Douglas Woolley will speak on the topic of Growing Old Gracefully: Men's Health Issues in a public lecture at the KU School of Medicine – Wichita campus at 1010 N. Kansas. You're invited to bring a sack lunch to the lecture. Snacks and/or dessert and beverages will be provided. Registrations are requested by calling 316-293-2643, and the lecture is free and open to the public. The KU School of Medicine – Wichita campus is located at the 8th/9th Street exit on I-135. Be sure to tune in to Wichita Public Radio for another informative part of this series. KMUW's Carla Eckels and Frank Dudgeon will offer interviews on the topic during Morning Edition on January 9th and 10th, featuring Dr. Woolley and others from the community.
