Older African Americans have much higher rates of chronic disease than older Caucasians, a disparity that the IOG has investigated for over a decade. As one means of reversing this trend and helping to make the African American community more comfortable with health interventions, the IOG created the Healthier Black Elders Reception. This reception includes inspirational and educational panel discussions with question and answer sessions, health screenings, a nutritious lunch, and exercise.
Healthier Black Elders Center- Keeping the Memories Golden: Positive Mental Health Strategies will be held Tuesday, June 11, 2013 from 7:30 am – 2 pm @ Greater Grace Conference Center.
This event will include breakfast; health screenings; sessions on fitness, humor, caregiving, nutrition, and the Affordable Care Act; and lunch.
Registration costs $5.
