Exercise and Health Promotion Resources for Older Adults

The Senior Alliance supports several health and wellness programs and initiatives for individuals age 60 and over in the communities we serve. The programs we support are evidence-based, which means they are proven through research to promote health and prevent disease among program participants. Participants in evidence-based disease prevention programs can feel confident that the programs will work.

Programs have the same content regardless of location. Through the various programs offered, participants will decrease their risk of falls, learn ways to better manage chronic conditions, and increase activity levels.
