July HEAT (Healthy Eating and Tasting) Program

The South Arkansas Center on Aging Education Center (SACOA), along with valued community partners (HealthWorks Fitness Center, Medical Center of South Arkansas, & South Ark Community College) hosted the monthly Healthy Eating and Tasting Program on July 11, 2017 at HealthWorks Fitness Center. The featured guest was Chef Daniel Pietrack, presenting “Classic Cooking”. Dishes prepared were Garlic Herb Roasted Salmon and Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. Chef Pietrack discussed ways to cook salmon and how to have more healthy outcomes. This was an exciting experience for all. Each participant enjoyed a sample of the flavorful dishes and went away with a detailed recipe card for each.

SACOA exists to support and assist senior adults and their families in the seven counties surrounding Union County. We offer a host of community programs to promote the health and well-being of senior adults. We also have a vast resource center with information on aging well, Alzheimer’s and dementia, and other aspects of aging and senior health.

The HEAT Program is offered the second Tuesday of each month at 11:30 am and FREE to all senior adults (55 and better). Stay tuned for details about next month.
