Seniors’ wellness fair to focus on physical and mental health

To the Editor:

Last fall, our “Senior Wellness Fair Reimagined” was a shortened, virtual version of the Swarthmore Senior Citizens Association’s annual Wellness Fair. I’m writing now to let local seniors know that they’ll want to “zoom in” on Saturday, April 10, for our next wellness program. This time, the topics are centered on our physical and mental health as men and women. We’ve asked healthcare professionals to begin the program by leading separate sessions for men and women to encourage frank discussions. Then we will come together as a whole group to discuss the many physical and mental health issues that are common to us as human beings, particularly as those issues apply to us now that we’re a little more than a year into COVID-19. By zooming in on April 10, you’ll learn how to stay resilient these days, and you’ll hear how others are coping with — and perhaps even benefiting from — the current situation.

Here is the link. Please sign in about 9:25 a.m. We’re offering technical assistance via phone at 484-437-8272 to help you get connected. Our program last November had over 80 people log in, and the follow-up comments were all glowing! We hope to provide an even better experience this year. Enjoy!
