The three phases of the program are health screening, health education and individualized health counseling. These programs are designed to improve the quality of life for the older adult. The health screening component is for well older adults who are interested in health promotion, and prevention of disease. The health screening includes several screening procedures, health history, and health and wellness counseling. This program is not designed to replace the medical physical exam; rather, the health screening prograzn is designed to assist the individual in learning more about health pro- motion. Group Blood Pressure Screenings are offered at various locations where older adults live and/or congregate. The health education component is more intensive effort than the health screening, to inform individuals in the methods of taking responsibility for their own health status. The health education series includes monthly lectures and discussion of various disease processes and life style adaption to maintain good mental and physical health. The individualized health counseling component involves a weekly open hour, when people may come to the Senior Center without an appointment, to have their questions and concerns answered. Again, this is designed for the well adult, and not for the individual who is experiencing difficulty with their current medical treatment plan. The Older Adult Health Program recognizes that the appropriate treat- ment £or a person experiencing difficulty with their health should be seen and diagnased by their physician. The Nurse does act as an advocate for clients who hace difficulty getting in to see their physician. ' The Older Adult Health Program is a triphasic program committed to enhancing the quality of li£e for the older adult through health education and promotion of physical and social wellness. This pro- gram works in cooperation with the other programs offered by the Oshkosh Seniors Center. Nai1 cutting will be continued as it is a needed servtce by many older persons who for various reasons cannot cut their own nails. In our effort to reach out to the community, we will continue to work with apartment complexes, meal sites , nursing homes and neighbor- hood centers in offering health screening education on a mobile basis. - 27e - . � �. q M N Gl W y O � r 1� � 0 � N � � N y O J � � O � N p �'� y N �� U L � L O �J 4 d C N L W L O S L x 9 G1 ILL � 3 4 � .� m dE � N �O .� N � �� O O 0 0 N v] N O C 0 V Y U � N 11 t .�. � N .i X U N � � N � � s' o — 3 m' ti o � �� N � �; v .i a -- W C N S� > � �'`� E S+ N a o�` 7 N � � ' � � y L�1 � r 0 n H .-I G �,� � �\.
