We are excited to collaborate with the Edmonton Public Library to bring you Let’s Talk Health, a new community health series designed to make reliable, expert health information easier to access and understand.

Our first session takes on a topic that has generated a lot of conversation: GLP-1 medications.

GLP-1 medications have become increasingly familiar, but what do they actually do, who are they intended for, and what should people know about their benefits, limitations and potential risks?

Join a Department of Medicine expert, Dr. Saifal Anwar, for an informative, accessible conversation that separates the facts from the headlines and gives you an opportunity to ask questions.
