DERBY - The Griffin Center for Healthy Living will host a new free health education program about GLP-1 and non-GLP-1 medications that support weight-loss and metabolic health.
Thriving on GLP-1 for Metabolic & Weight Management is a three-week workshop for anyone considering starting a GLP-1 or presently taking one.
This workshop will explain the science of obesity, weight regulation, how GLP-1 medications work, and their benefits and risks. Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist Carolyn Gundell, MS, CDCES, will share strategies for managing medication side effects and discuss evaluating eating patterns, physical activity benefits, and other lifestyle habits that help sustain long-term weight loss and reduce health risks.
There will be a session on Thursdays July 30, and Aug. 6 and 13 from 4-5:30 p.m. at Griffin Hospital, 130 Division St.
This free wellness program is part of Griffin’s commitment to improve community wellness through free education, guidance and assistance in preventing and managing chronic disease.

Ansonia posts possible discolored water alert
Regional Water Authority- Possible Discolored Water
The City of Ansonia has been advised by the Regional Water Authority that as a result of the extreme heat and increased water demands, residents may experience temporarily discolored water over the next few days.
Discoloration of water may occur when the naturally occurring minerals that normally settle to the bottom of a water main are stirred up due to a change in the flow of water. Discolored water is usually not harmful, but it is unappealing and can cause residue or stains.
Regional Water recommends that customers wait until the discoloration clears before drinking the water, and also postpone doing dishes and laundry to avoid residue or stains.
Discolored water is temporary and most discolored water events clear on their own. Regional Water will also have crews in the field all weekend to help clear up discolored water issues.
For up to date information visit the RWA Website rwater.com or their social media pages. You can also call them at 203 562-4020.
Have a safe Independence Day weekend, stay cool and don't forget to check on your neighbors, family and friends as we deal with this extreme heat together.
Ansonia's Cooling Center at the ARMS Building located at 22 West Main St. remains open daily through Sunday for residents who need to escape the heat in an air conditioned space from 9 am until 6 pm.
