This program provides tools for seniors in the Southside community to live healthier, more active lifestyles, achieve optimal aging, and be socially fit. Health screenings and health education are provided to promote healthy and independent living. We meet in casual settings with healthy refreshments, with various health related discussions, demonstrations, guest speakers and health screenings. Enjoy seeing your neighbors and making new friends!

Classes give participants an opportunity to take charge of various aspects of aging in a safe environment while maintaining connections with their peers. Various topics include brain health, healthy eating and weight management, through diet changes, how to stay active, falls prevention, elder safety from predators and scams and elder law issues. Participants enjoy listening to and interacting with presenters and each other as they take control of their lives and speak on health issues pertinent to the older adult.
