August Older Wiser Livelier Seniors (OWLS)

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 Older Wiser Livelier Seniors (OWLS) on August 18, 2017 at HealthWorks Fitness Center.

Laura Rogers, of the Arkansas Department of Game and Fish, was our featured guest.  She led our kindness movement and helped channel our creativity as we painted rocks for #870PRH.  This was a fun and exciting time and we will be looking on Facebook to see where our kindness rocks travel.

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 OWLS Program is offered the third Tuesday of each month at 2:00 pm at Healthworks Fitness Center and is FREE to all senior adults (50 and better). September is National Falls Prevention Month, and next month’s OWLS Program will focus on avoiding falls and staying healthy.  Please RSVP to 870-881-8969 or e-mail npatterson@uams.edu.
