Healthy Aging Month

September 2008

In 2006, baby boomers will celebrate their sixtieth birthdays, which will impact the concept of aging in America. Healthy Aging Month highlights aspects of growing older, with a special focus on promoting the keys to healthy aging: physical fitness, social wellness, financial fitness, and mental wellness. Throughout the nation, health fairs and events will educate the public on healthy aging, longevity, and other issues for the aging population.

Vericom can help you communicate cost-effectively with your internal and external customers. Here are some examples of how SoundCare can be used to raise awareness about this issue:

Create a SoundView with a gerontologist

Create a SoundView with a senior citizen

Promote gerontology services in your hospital

Sample SoundCare Message

"Here are some tips for healthy aging. Stay physically fit by choosing exercises you enjoy, and including physical activity in your daily routine. Maintain social well-being by volunteering, joining civic groups, or getting involved in community outreach. Stay mentally fit by exercising your mind. Start by reading, taking up a new hobby, or researching topics that interest you."

SoundCare® messages can be customized in many ways. If you are a Vericom client and would like to see this message written in the context of prevention, treatment, educational events, or from any other perspective, please call Vericom Customer Relations at 800-800-1090.
