LONGMEADOW — The free monthly Lunch and Learn program at Ruth’s House Assisted Living Residence at JGS Lifecare has announced its topic for Friday, Jan. 17. Dr. Bill Bazin, a chiropractor for more than 30 years, will present “Stress Less in 2020 with Time and Energy Efficiency,” offering strategies to better manage stress and increase quality of life.
