Senior Services, Inc. is pleased to announce the Senior Wellness Project: a health promotion and disease prevention program aimed at giving older adults in the community the tools that will help them stay active and healthy.
A yearlong series of events held at senior centers, community centers and residences throughout northern Rhode Island will focus on health education, health monitoring and health promoting activities.
The first Senior Wellness Event will focus on Arthritis, its treatment, and the benefits of exercise. Healthy snacks and blood pressure screenings will be offered. Topics to follow include Diabetes, Hypertension, Osteoporosis, Fall Prevention and Depression. All events will be staffed by health and exercise professionals.
Senior citizen groups who may be interested in scheduling an event should contact Senior Services, Inc. at 401-766-3734.
The Senior Wellness Project is supported by Title IIIB of the Older Americans Act, through the Rhode Island Department of Elderly Affairs.
