Suffer from joint pain and stiffness caused by inflammation of one or more of your joints? Arthritis is the leading cause of pain and disability worldwide, and it typically worsens with age, according to a press release. 

Arthritis will be the focus of a free “Health Talk Series” for seniors scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m. April 23 at in the community chapel at St. John’s on Fountain Lake, 1861 Eagle View Circle in Albert Lea. This is the first of a three-session program and is free and open to the public, according to the release.
