Kaiser Permanente Hawaii has expanded benefits under its Senior Advantage Plan to include a new program that provides more fitness offerings for senior citizens in the state.

The new Silver & Fit program includes free membership from nearly 60 local participating fitness clubs and also social events for Senior Advantage members. There also is a quarterly newsletter and a Healthy Aging Kit containing 48 fitness classes on a DVD.

Kaiser Permanente said non-members can also join the Senior Advantage program and gain access to the Sliver & Fit plan.

Kaiser Permanente is the second-largest health plan in the state with more than 220,000 members. The Hawaii Medical Service Association is the biggest health plan, insuring about 700,000.
