As the number of seniors living in our area grows, the need for health promotion programs addressing this age group increases. The Northwest Wellness Conference for Seniors provides an opportunity for seniors to gain the skills and information necessary to improve their personal health as well as the health of their community. The Northwest Wellness Conference for Seniors is the first of its kind to use the conference team approach with seniors. Teams should include four to eight people and represent communities, agencies, or organizations. Team members must be 60 years of age or older, or retired at any age.
Participation is limited to Washington and Oregon residents.
All team members are required to attend the entire conference. We believe the team approach is the most effective and efficient way for individuals to make a difference in the health of their community. The Team Application Form was due on May 18, 2001.
