A Healthy Living Program for Seniors
Senior citizens number over 1 million in New Jersey. Seniors are a key part of our community. At South Jersey Healthcare (SJH), we value our relationship with seniors. The SJH Senior Class was developed just for you, adults age 55 and over. Senior Class is for seniors who want to make new friends, learn about healthy living and enjoy an educational luncheon with fellow senior citizens.
Preventing and treating disease, healthy living, and senior citizen issues are frequent educational topics presented at Senior Class. The luncheons are followed by an educational presentation. Speakers are health care experts, physicians, and members of the SJH community with proficiency in senior issues. There is always ample time after the presentation to ask questions and to socialize with fellow seniors.
Special themed luncheons are held including a Halloween costume party, Thanksgiving feast and a holiday party with musical performances.
Seven luncheons are held per year at the SJH Fitness Connection in Vineland. The Center is conveniently located and is fully accessible for those with special needs.
Senior Class Benefits
Senior Class is a healthy living membership program. In addition to the lunch and learn meetings, members will receive the SJH Golden Times newsletter, a publication especially for seniors. It gives you updates on Senior Class activities, upcoming speakers, health tips, fitness suggestions, and SJH community education program information.
Your health is important to us. A Senior Class flu and pneumonia shot clinic is held every year. Senior Class members have also participated in free health screenings, learned low-impact exercises from the Center for Health and Fitness staff, and had personal counseling on prescription drug interactions from SJH pharmacists. A Senior Class health fair featuring free health screenings and health information is offered to members.
SJH Senior Class participants are able to make new friends, learn about current health information and stay informed about special senior community events offered through SJH.
