The program aims to empower older adults to remain independent, maintain a healthy lifestyle and safely age in place. It covers topics such as managing diabetes, controlling high blood pressure and understanding cholesterol.
In addition to health topics, B.E.S.T. offers insights into the basics of investing and taxes.
“We can even offer advice and guidance on writing, (everyone has a book in them)!" B.E.S.T. said.
The grand opening event allowed guests to explore the program, meet instructors and learn how to get involved.
Those who want to learn more can visit B.E.S.T. online.
