Health and wellness for the mind, body and self
Are you looking for ways to help live a healthier, more active lifestyle? Would you like to attend health screening clinics that can help you monitor or detect potential health problems? If you are age 60 or older, the Healthy Aging Program offers a variety of services for you in two major areas.
The wellness promotion component provides classes that promote lifestyle changes that can help you improve your health and lead a more active lifestyle. Some of the class topics include nutrition, stress management, memory, infectious diseases, chronic diseases, and English for Speakers of Other Languages.
The health screening component provides clinics that screen you for commonly occurring health problems in older adults. Referrals are made to a physician if potential problems are detected or suspected. The program offers a variety of screening services including blood pressure checks, hearing tests, physical exams, osteoporosis, medication evaluations, diabetes screening, cancer screening, podiatry examinations, influenza and pneumonia immunizations, and other related services.
