Health Promotion Activities

Wellness is ageless and means much more than the absence of sickness.  It is a way of living that emphasizes preventative measures such as eating healthy foods, making exercise an enjoyable part of your life, and making self-care decisions that will improve the quality of your life.

The Northeast Nebraska Area Agency on Aging goal through the Health Promotion Program is to provide health education and services that promotes health, wellness and disease prevention to persons aged 60 or older in our 22 counties.  The Area Agency works with various health professionals to provide health screens and tests.  The screens and tests are provided on a suggested contribution basis to anyone 60 years of age or older.
