Join the Seniors with Attitude Group for a monthly meeting! This month, we will learn about healthy aging with Derek Brawner from Health Alliance. Attendees each have a chance to win a door prize!

An estimated 92% of aging adults have at least one chronic disease, and about 75% of money spent on healthcare each year goes toward treating chronic diseases. This course teaches audiences how they can keep their minds and bodies active to help lower their risk for chronic disease. This could potentially benefit their health while also helping them save money.
