Join this 6-week wellness program designed to help you reconnect with your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. Through mindfulness, acupressure, and science-backed habit-building practices, you’ll learn simple tools to support your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

Take a look at this opportunity, brought to us by the Chicago Department of Public Health and the Department of Family and Support Services, this May in celebration of Older Americans Month: Senior Health Fairs happening across Chicago. These events are a great opportunity to connect, learn, and take charge of your health.

Free vaccinations, valuable resources, and real conversations on topics that matter—from wellness to mental health and more.

We’re excited to bring you a fresh mini-clip from Schaalman Senior Voices and Rush Generations all about why immunizations matter for older adults.

Whether it’s flu, pneumonia, shingles, or COVID-19, getting the right vaccines helps you stay vibrant and independent. Dive into the clip to hear from experts + community members on how simple shots make a big difference.

This message is for YOU — or someone you care about.
✅ Why get vaccinated?
✅ Which vaccines make sense at what age?
✅ How to find out what you need and get the shot easily.

🙏 Share this with your friends, family, neighbors — let’s protect our community together.
