Maurer to speak at September Dine with a Doc

Friday, September 19, 2014

The Sept. 22 session of Dine with a Doc will feature George "Fritz" Maurer of Maurer's Wellness Center in Brazil.

The program is presented the fourth Monday of each month from 10 a.m.-noon at Putnam County Hospital.

Maurer graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in pharmacy and has been a licensed pharmacist since 1973.

He opened his own pharmacy in December 1983 and in July 2005 sold his pharmacy and converted to a "wellness center" format to concentrate on his passion for "Natural Medicine."

In May 2002, after more than 200 hours of studies, he received his Certification for Clinical Nutrition (CCN). To further his education, Maurer enrolled at the Pan-American Institute to study under Dr. Charles McWilliams. In October 2004, he received his Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM) sanctioned under the World Organization of Naturopathic Medical Practitioners (WONMP) in Toronto, Canada.

He is currently finishing his Naturopathic Doctor (ND) Degree.

Monday's program will be an opportunity for seniors to learn how to improve their quality of life through what they put in their bodies.

Dine with a Doc is a free program that welcomes the local senior public to getting to hear an educational topic while enjoying a complimentary lunch.

The program is a community effort of Senior Education Ministries, a doctor, a lunch sponsor, the senior citizens, local churches and area businesses coming together for the good of all to serve the senior citizens.
