The Redmond Senior Center of Oregon - Wellbeing Series Sponsored by St. Charles Medical Center

Health and wellness are critical topics for senior citizens as they directly impact their quality of life and longevity. Aging increases susceptibility to chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and cognitive impairments. Prioritizing health through regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and routine check-ups can mitigate these risks, helping seniors maintain mobility, mental clarity, and independence. Additionally, focusing on wellness promotes mental and emotional well-being, addressing feelings of isolation and depression through social interaction, mental stimulation, and emotional support.

The Redmond Senior Center supports senior well-being by dedicating each month to a specific health and wellness topic. This structured approach ensures a comprehensive focus on various aspects of senior health, from heart health and diabetes management to mental wellness and social engagement. Monthly themes are supported by activities, workshops, and expert-led seminars designed to educate and empower seniors. This targeted programming fosters a proactive attitude towards health, enhancing their quality of life throughout the year.
