The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) Program celebrates healthy aging and educates older adults on a variety of topics. This free program will take place at the Wood County Committee on Aging, beginning on Aug. 7, and is open to anyone age 60 or older.
The educational program offers six weekly lessons that cover a wide range of topics. Participants will have an opportunity to meet new people and:
- Learn about the aging process and how to make healthy lifestyle choices.
- Celebrate this stage of life and all the benefits that come with it.
- Discuss risk factors and behaviors older adults should avoid to stay healthy.
- Examine how alcohol, prescription medications and over-the-counter medications affect seniors differently and how they can avoid problems.
- Learn how to use simple tools to help you feel more empowered about your health and the healthcare you receive.
The six weekly sessions will be held on Thursdays from 1-2:30 p.m., beginning Aug. 7, at the Wood County Senior Center, 140 S. Grove St., Bowling Green, and will continue through Thursday, Sept. 11.
Each session will include refreshments and a gift card incentive for participants who successfully complete the program. Registration is required. To register, contact the Wood County Committee on Aging at 419-353-5661 or 1-800-367-4935.
