Our recurring Speaker Series will feature industry experts presenting on a wide range of subjects. There are so many aspects to "Wellness" and we want to highlight more of them beyond physical fitness. Our first class will be "Dementia 101", which will cover a number of basic elements, including various Types, Early Signs, Communication tips and tools, and adjustments to consider for the Holidays.
Presenting the material will be Holly Merk-Wilcox, Account Executive with WesleyLife and expert in the Alzheimer's/Dementia field. Holly will host a Q&A afterwards, and there will be light refreshments during. Our Speaker Series is FREE and open to the general public.
Blood Pressure Screenings
With Blood Pressure being such a key health indicator, here at the YMCA we will be hosting FREE screenings on the 2nd Wednesday of every month. These will be open to the general public, and anyone can attend. For November, our clinicians will be in the main lobby on November 8th from 9:30 - 11:30 AM. Materials will be provided to keep ongoing track of your results, and allow you to provide them to your regular physician.
Slip & Fall Prevention
Flu Shots
The fourth and final installment of our Whole Health Initiative here in November is our OPEN Flu Shot Clinics!
Next Thursday, Nov 30th, we will be hosting two clinics for anyone to stop by and get their flu shot; the first from 8-11 AM, and the second from 3-6 PM. No need to RSVP - walk-ins are welcome and encouraged. Just be sure to bring your insurance information to potentially get them free of charge.
Our wonderful friends at Mercy One and Newton Clinic will be taking care of you, and there will even be a signup sheet for COVID boosters available.
Thank you for helping us spread the word as wide as possible, to try and serve as many people in need as we can!
