Simi Valley Senior Center Wellness Expo

What is more important than your health? Absolutely nothing is! The expression “If you have your health you have everything” is so true, especially as you age. That is why the Simi Valley Council On Aging, Simi Valley Hospital and Kaiser Permanente teamed up to put on the 2016 Wellness Expo.

Rise and shine on Wednesday, April 20th to be at the Simi Valley Senior Center, 3900 Avenida Simi, when the Expo begins at 8:00 a.m. You will have until noon to visit the booths of over 60 exhibitors specializing in important services for seniors. Get information on health and social services, insurance, legal assistance, long-term care, and housing, along with many other resources to help seniors stay as healthy and happy as possible as they age.

Numerous free health screenings and services will be available on a first come, first served basis, including carotid artery, glucose, blood pressure, hearing, depression, Body Mass Index (BMI), balance, memory, COPD and osteoporosis. In addition, the California Telephone Access Program will be offering free adaptive telephones for those who qualify and the Simi Valley Police Department will provide a “Drug Drop off Box” for safe disposal of prescription drugs.

Admission is free and the Council On Aging encourages all seniors and their families to attend the 2016 Wellness Expo “For the Health of It.” For more information, click here or call (805) 583-6363.
