A COMMUNITY CENTER FOR OLDER ADULTS TO ENJOY ACTIVITIES AND FRIENDSHIPS
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.

Mental Health Matters: Understanding, Supporting, and Strengthening Our Well-Being
Join us this May for a powerful and insightful 45-minute session as part of the Redmond Senior Center’s Wellbeing Series. *Mental Health Matters* explores the essentials of mental wellness, offering practical tools to recognize signs of struggle, reduce stigma, and build healthy, everyday habits to support your emotional well-being. This engaging talk blends neuroscience, real-life examples, and easy-to-apply strategies that will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and ready to support yourself and others with compassion and confidence.
The class is led by Savanna DeLuca, LPC, LMHC, CCAT—an experienced somatic therapist, educator, and group facilitator based in Bend.
