Taylorville Memorial Hospital is looking to reach local senior citizens in the interest of their health, and an event next week will help them do exactly that. Together with the Christian County YMCA, they are hosting the second annual “Senior Day Out.” It’s scheduled for Tuesday, October 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Y. Seniors and their caregivers will be able to attend. TMH will provide free health screenings, along with exhibits, lunch, games, and prizes.
Jay Boulanger, Community Health Coordinator with Taylorville Memorial Hospital, helped organize Senior Day Out. He says other healthcare providers will be on hand to give screenings for a variety of conditions seniors may face.
There will be 28 vendors on hand. They will provide information on a variety of topics important to seniors, from Medicare to hospice.
Boulanger says this event is part of a larger mission of encouraging senior citizens to look after their health and take the necessary steps to do so.
More information on Senior Day Out is available by contacting Jay Boulanger at (217) 707-5258 or boulanger.jay@mhsil.com.
Jay Boulanger appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
