Senior Wellness Expo honors veterans
San Jacinto College hosted its annual Senior Wellness Expo with a twist Nov. 11 at the Central Campus.
For older adults and caregivers, the free expo featured a wall of honor with veterans’ photos and notecards for guests to sign. Veterans who attended also received framed patriotic quotes and flag pins.
San Jac’s Continuing and Professional Development Community Engagement Division organized the event. Through community service provider booths, fitness demos, speakers, health screenings, and vaccines, seniors learned about resources and activities that contribute to happy, healthy lives.
Another bonus was a safe environment to meet others.
“Research shows that socializing helps increase longevity and life fulfillment, so our expo was a fun event with long-term benefits,” said Dr. Janice Sullivan, CPD dean of community engagement.
More than 30 sponsors and non-profits supported the expo. To view the event photo album, visit bit.ly/seniorexpo22.
