Griffin Health, Agency on Aging programs for seniors to focus on hearing issues

Griffin Health and the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut will host health education programs for Valley seniors about hearing issues this July.

Audiologist Willa Horowitz, Au.D, will lead “Are You Hearing Aware?”, a free presentation on how to notice if your hearing impaired and about hearing tests to diagnose issues. Griffin Health caregivers will also offer free blood pressure screenings and consultation. 

The presentations are scheduled for July 2 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at  Ansonia Senior Center, July 6 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Seymour Senior Center, July 9 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Oxford Senior Center, July 22 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at Shelton Senior Center, and July 23 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Derby Neck Library.

These offerings are part of the AgeWell program, which is co-sponsored by Griffin Health and the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut to increase access to care and prevent disease in the Valley senior community through a series of health screenings and healthy living education sessions each month. 

Periodically, this program provides nutritiously balanced and delicious foods for attendees.
