§ 104905 Senior Health Promotion Support

• •The department must support health promotion for anyone 55+.
• •Support includes staff, money, planning, evaluation, education, research, funding, and medical leadership.
• •The goal is to provide preventive health services that keep older adults healthy before they get sick.

A local senior center wants to start a free weekly walking class for members who are 60 years old.

Because of this law, the department can provide staff and budget to help the center set up the class, check how well it works, teach the seniors about staying healthy, and give medical advice.
