Nothing is more important than your health! The expression “If you have your health you have everything” rings especially true as you age. That is why the Simi Valley Council On Aging, Simi Valley Hospital, and Kaiser Permanente have teamed up to present the 2017 Wellness Expo.

Rise and shine on Wednesday, April 19 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 65 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 will be available on a first come, first served basis including carotid artery, glucose, blood pressure, hearing, depression, Body Mass Index (BMI), memory, COPD and osteoporosis. 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 prescriptions drugs. In addition, local businesses have donated hundreds of dollars in door prizes that attendees can enter to win!

Admission is free and the Council On Aging encourages all seniors and their families to attend the 2017 Wellness Expo “For the Health of It.” For more information, call the Senior Center at (805) 583-6363.
