Red Bank Opens Senior Program
Chattanooga and its close-by communities have been advocates of senior activities for quite some time.
The newest program to be offered to this fast growing segment of our population is one offered by Erlanger Health Care System. It is conveniently located at the Red Bank Community Center, and it’s off to a great start.
The twice a week activities include a free meal, exercise activities and medical screenings, sponsored by the Southeast Tennessee Area Agency on Aging and Disability, Erlanger North and Red Bank.
Each meeting begins with a health activity such as blood pressure, memory or vascular screenings, then a hot meal is served followed by a special speaker, entertainer or arts and crafts project. Most activities are free, but a small fee is charged for tai chi or yoga classes. Donations for meals are encouraged.
Joe Glasscock, Red Bank mayor said, “The quality of what we offer is so good, it’s going to grow on it’s own.” The senior program is open to any area seniors who are Tennessee residents. Stop by for a look-see, won’t you? Call Erlanger North at 778-3366 to participate.
