Promote Healthy Lifestyles

---

One of our focuses has been to make a difference in our neighborhood and the lives of our seniors by promoting healthy lifestyles.  Our volunteers, staff and community all work together to keep our seniors happy, healthy and at home—just where they want to be.

To accomplish this, we offer:

• Weekly blood pressure clinics at Como by the Lake, a senior apartment building, and the Front  Hi-Rise, a public housing apartment building (we have offices located in each building)
• Bi-weekly senior exercise programs at both buildings. 
• Host monthly mental and physical health promotion classes, outings and social gatherings that are open to all community members
  
• Provide home safety checks for neighborhood seniors in an effort to decrease the risk of their falling--because most falls occur in or around the house, we want to help our senior neighbors identify and correct potential hazards in their homes. 
  

In the past year, we have made over 3591 health promotion contacts within the NE-SC neighborhood.
