POSH seeks to reduce the risk and impact of chronic diseases, promote mental, emotional health through coordinated prevention efforts and improved access of seniors to health services. By providing culturally relevant and linguistically accessible health education and support to access health services, the POSH program improves senior participants’ physical and mental wellness and strengthen their ability to proactively manage their own health. The Promotion of Seniors Health Program (POSH) empowers seniors with culturally relevant knowledge and resources they need for healthy aging. This includes monthly workshops on management and prevention of chronic diseases and promotion of healthy lifestyle.
Features of the program include:
- Twice-yearly health fairs where seniors can access medical screenings and providers in a culturally appropriate setting.
