Health & Wellness Program
The Road to Wellness
We promote positive aging. Our vision is to help cultivate caring, supportive communities where we can all age gracefully and with dignity.
"Wellness is a multidimensional state of being describing the existence of positive health in an individual as exemplified by qualtiy of life and a sense of well-being." Charles B. Corbin of Arizona State University
We are a social profit organization that is funded primarily through grants from the Federal Government, the Department of Health, Albuquerque Area Agency on Aging, the Non-Metro Agency on Aging, and United Way.
We receive funding through the government because we are non-discriminatory. Our services are for people from all religious and ethnic backgrounds, young and old, urban and rural. We encourage everyone to come to our events!
Activities
We try to cater to your community as much as possible. Every community is unique and we prefer to work with you to develop a program that uniquely enhances your community. Here are some of the programs we offer at many of our sites:
- EnhanceFitness- An evidence-based exercise program

- Social Get-togethers -
