The benefits of laughter, along with helpful information on humor and health, will be the theme at the upcoming Lifetree Café at noon on Monday, July 11.

The event will include a filmed interview with humorist and general practitioner Dr. Brad Nieder. Known as the Healthy Humorist, Nieder entertains thousands across the country with his medical-related humor. He demonstrates how a good laugh can promote mental and physical health.
