Welcome to LKNConnect® Health
At the close of our first full year, I would like to take a moment to introduce you to all the ways, LKNConnect® is Bringing Local to Life! This article is the second in a series of three articles describing each of the sections of the online magazine, LKNConnect.com: Community, Health, and The Marketplace. Read my first article on the LKNConnect Community here.
Health & Wellness in the Lake Norman region
Our newest part of the LKNConnect.com online magazine, this is the place to go for tips and advice on how to live a more balanced and healthier lifestyle. Our articles relate to living in the Lake Norman region but the information itself is chosen from the best practices all over the world.

If you have children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews—come here to find articles about how to safely participate in sports and other general information such as what are the signs of dyslexia.
