LEARNING CENTER:


Learning Centers are areas at a Focus on Health event where participants are actively involved in learning about wellness. Some participants will be motivated to learn about health by reading a pamphlet at an un-staffed exhibit; others may be motivated by a more creative, active approach. A Learning Center is not simply an exhibit booth, but basically a hands-on visual learning experience designed to motivate, educate and improve one's health through information ranging on disease prevention tips to daily healthy living tips!

Current Learning Centers vary at each site location, but a few of the featured exhibits are:
  • Heart Health
  • Osteoporosis
  • Cancer Prevention
Plan to bring your health-related questions and concerns for dialogue with registered nurses, dietitians, exercise specialists, and other health care professionals located at these centers and also at the summary and referral check out area. One of this year's new offerings for individuals over sixty is balance testing which focuses on preventing falls. Weight management, nutrition, and colon cancer prevention are just a sampling of other offerings available in these learning centers.
