Older Adults Hear the Call to Save America's Health

Our nation is fighting for its economic life as we face dramatic increases in healthcare costs aggravated by obesity and chronic illnesses. Systemic reform and changes in governmental policy will never reduce healthcare dependency. We need a responsible solution for improving the health of those who face the greatest health risks. Our nation's older adults are the perfect role models to lead the way.

Making the Call

Clarkstown and Suffern New York were the first communities to answer Jack LaLanne's Call to Activity by providing an extensive physical activity program for seniors. With more than 500 seniors already trained, the program has been quite successful. http://bit.ly/g9HOl9 is an article highlighting Clarkstown's ribbon cutting ceremony.
