GUAM: Golden Years Health Fair To Empower 'Manamko,' Their Care Providers
GUAM (Pacific News Center), August 28, 2008:
Local senior citizens and their care providers are on track to learn disease prevention, better ways of managing existing chronic diseases, and a variety of new things they can do to improve their quality of life through a combination of presentations and exhibitions set to take place at the “Golden Years!” Senior Health Fair.
The big event happens August 28 at Micronesia Mall Expo Hall. Over 600 seniors will be bussed to the health fair. But anyone interested in senior health care is encourage to attend.
“At a time when society's youngest senior citizens came of age during the ideal-striving counterculture movement of the 1960's, it's no longer surprising to see the so-called 'elderly' taking charge of their health and enjoying active retirement,” said Sharla Montvel-Cohen, Executive Producer of GU M.D. and Managing Director of Lotus Media Services, the company that produces the half-hour program for broadcast on FOX6-TV.
