Learn from trained volunteer leaders with health conditions themselves.
Set your own goals and make a step-by-step plan to improve your health—and your life.
The WISE Program is a health and wellness program targeting older adults. WISE promotes health through education concerning high-risk behaviors in older adults. The WISE Program is designed to help older adults celebrate healthy aging, make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid substance abuse. The curriculum is designed to take place once per week over a six-week period. Each lesson is about 1 ½ to 2 hours, not including time breakfast or lunch, which we recommend serving in order to help the group get to know each other and socialize. Older Adults receive a $25 Visa Gift Card upon graduation.
