| SENIOR WELLNESS PROGRAM |
The Senior Wellness Program offers health education opportunities for senior citizens to reduce
barriers associated with receiving health information and resources for persons age 55 and older,
residing in Isabella County. Program activities take place at six meal site locations operated
through the Isabella County Commission on Aging. The purpose of the Senior Wellness program
is to enable seniors to access current and accurate health information, and to examine and
enhance their decision-making and self-care skills regarding their health. Specifically, the
program offers health information and education designed to assist seniors toward assessing
their own risk pertaining to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and increasing their quality of life.
Trained health professionals from Central Michigan District Health Department provide a variety
of CVD-related presentations on a monthly basis. Cardiovascular screenings are also provided to
the seniors annually. Printed and electronic resources are made available at each presentation
site.
