ActiveRx in the Community

Vista de la Montana
As part of our rapidly expanding Community Outreach Program we have set up a series of wellness-oriented talks and seminars in the communities surrounding each of our clinics. Over the last couple of months we have presented on half a dozen occasions at senior centers, retirement communities and Recreation Departments. This is the first in a series of posts describing some of those presentations.
Vista de la Montana Retirement Residence is part of the Holiday Touch Network and is a really lovely facility set in some beautiful well kept gardens at 18510 N. Parkview Place in Surprise (Check out the picture above!). Our presentation was entitled “Catching some zzzz’s – Good Habits for Good Sleep” (See our post http://secondfifty.wordpress.com/2010/02/07/catching-some-zzz’s-good-habits-for-good-sleep/ for more details on this topic) – and was organized by Joyce Sprengel the Activities Director. About 15 people attended and there were lots of great questions and feedback – many of our audience already had a very positive approach to wellness and in some cases had worked out a great sleep routine of their own! The session produced a very interesting and lively/humorous discussion, which occasionally drifted outside the topic at hand, but was always very wellness oriented.
After the ‘official’ presentation a number of people stayed behind to chat and ask more questions and we discovered that 4 of the ladies in our group were (actively) approaching their “Third Fifty Years”! So we would like to congratulate Hattie (99 years), Grace (96 years), Vera (96 years) and Rosie, 90 (years) for so impressively showing us all what Successful Aging can look like!
Thank you Joyce for being such a great host. We look forward to our next presentation in March!
