Our programs are designed to meet the goal and objective of our mission: to help mature adults stay independent, physically fit and socially engaged. The emphasis is on exercise that ameliorates the impact of aging, coupled with social engagement. The value of this vision has become more apparent as studies on the health and activity of senior citizens are conducted. A recent study conducted by Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania offers evidence that: “seniors participating in senior centers differ from non participating seniors in the occurrence of impairments to their independence.”
