Noon Seminar Provides Activities to Increase Physical Activity for Older Adults

A simple activity such as chair volleyball can help senior citizens increase physical health by building lost strength and stamina. Barbara Pfeiffer, M.P.H., OU-COM geriatric medicine administrator; Suzanne Croci, R.N.; and Sarah McGrew, OU-COM social medicine patient services coordinator, will present "Strategies to Increase Physical Activity Among Seniors" on Monday, February 21. The seminar will be held at O'Bleness Memorial Hospital, Room B-9, from noon to 1 p.m.

Specifically designed health programs for older adults and strategies to increase the physical activity of older adults will be discussed, Croci said. Older adults will also be offered the opportunity to sign up for and participate in health programs sponsored by an ElderHealth Promotion Grant from the Ohio Department of Health.

Older adults as well as health-care professionals are invited to the program. Physicians, social workers, counselors and nurses can receive one hour of continuing education credit for attendance.

The seminar is part of OU-COM's winter 2000 continuing education series on geriatric medicine and gerontology, held on the first and third Mondays of each month.
