Active Living: Overview

Health and Wellness at All Ages: Living Longer, Healthier Lifestyles

Helping you get healthy and stay healthy as you age is part of BAPTIST HEALTH's pledge to you. Physical injury, mental distress, sickness and disease are just a handful of the many senior health concerns of aging adults. At BAPTIST HEALTH, we understand the importance of not only treating these ailments, but taking steps to prevent them from ever occurring in the first place.

Active Living for Active Lifestyles

Anyone interested in living a healthier lifestyle and maintaining that health as they age will benefit from the many resources BAPTIST HEALTH offers.

Water aerobics and walking programs such as the BAPTIST HEALTH MallWalkers group enable everyone to enjoy all the benefits of staying physically fit and socially active in a safe environment through all ages.

BAPTIST HEALTH strives to sustain health and wellness in older adults through various preventative and educational programs on subjects such as arthritis, sleep disorders, exercise, AARP aide, cancer-risk programs and many other comprehensive services.

Mental health and wellness in older adults is also critical in maintaining an active lifestyle. Baptist's Geriatric Psychiatry specializes in the emotional and mental aspect of senior citizens' health. Support groups for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's provide a comforting place for patients and family to relate with others who are experiencing similar circumstances.

Caring for Seniors in Need

Through treatment services such as Hospice, Home Health and specialized retirement communities, BAPTIST HEALTH can help care many major senior health concerns.
