Senior fair to focus on healthful living


Advertiser Staff

Issues tied to healthful aging and preventative care will be the focus of Senior Health Day Fair, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 7 at Windward Mall’s Center Court.
Guest speakers will include Lieutenant Gov. James R. “Duke” Aiona, Jr. and Honolulu’s Managing Director Kirk Caldwell, who will deliver a message from Mayor Mufi Hannemann. Also, various experts will speak about eye diseases, and offer treatment recommendations; safety precautions to reduce the risk of falls and injuries among seniors; and management and treatment of osteoporosis. There will also be a fitness demonstration to introduce “Zumba,” a new fitness program tailored for seniors, with easy-to-learn dance steps to the beat of Latin music.
Entertainment will be provided by Na Kupuna O Koçolau, a seniors group of musicians and dancers.
The fair is sponsored by Attention Plus Care, as a home care agency. Admission is free.
