Griffin Bariatrics to offer virtual presentations on weight loss surgery

DERBY – Griffin Bariatrics will offer free virtual presentations on its weight-loss services throughout September and October.

Led by Griffin Hospital Director of Bariatrics Dr. Abe Fridman, these seminars will explain how bariatric surgery can help patients lose significant amounts of weight, enhance their health, and provide long-term well-being. 

Additionally, techniques, support programs, pre- and post-operative expectations, and insurance questions are also discussed.

Seminars will be held Sept. 18 at 5:30 p.m.; Sept. 24 at noon; Oct. 1 at 5:30 p.m.; Oct. 16 at 5:30 p.m.; and Oct. 22 at noon.

Griffin Hospital established its comprehensive weight loss surgery program, Griffin Bariatrics, to provide a medical solution for patients with more substantial weight loss needs. 

The long-term success enjoyed by Griffin Bariatrics patients is a result of excellent medical care, including the latest minimally invasive surgical procedures, combined with access to a full range of multidisciplinary services that have been assembled to support them before, during, and after their surgery.

To register, contact Bariatric Care Specialist Kimberly Fisher at kfisher@griffinhealth.org or 203-732-7108.

Griffin Health seeks singers for Valley Soul Community Choir

Ever wanted to sing in a gospel choir? Well, here’s your chance! Whether you’re an experienced singer or a “shower” singer, your voice is needed in the Valley Soul Community Choir.

Under the direction of Angela Clemmons, a professional singer and director of the acclaimed “Shoreline Soul” performances in Madison, you’ll hone your vocal talents with six two-hour workshops, culminating in a hand-clapping, foot-stomping, this-couldn’t-possibly-be-Naugatuck-Valley concert of traditional and contemporary gospel and ‘gospelized’ holiday songs on Dec. 10 at Church of The Good Shepherd, 35 Mountain Road, Seymour.

The training sessions will be Wednesdays, Sept. 18, Oct. 2, 16, 30, Nov. 13, and Dec. 4 from 6:45-8:45 p.m. at Church of The Good Shepherd. There is a $25 registration fee.

Although the workshop is primarily for adults, youth who are able to follow a lyric sheet are welcome to participate.

Sign up online at www.griffinhealth.org/valley-soul.
