Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

The Partners in Care Foundation under contract with the Department of Aging, administers Disease Prevention and Health Promotion services to older persons. The program is led by a collaborative of medical and health professionals working directly with the Department's 16 Multipurpose Senior Centers and many congregate nutrition sites.

Under this program, City seniors are provided free health screenings (such as glucose, vision, hearing, gait and balance, memory loss, movement disorders, and others), health education, counseling and referrals. The program also provides opportunities to medical residents, advanced nursing, pharmacology, social work, and gerontology students to work with older adults in their chosen areas of study.
