WISE and Take Control of Your Health Starting in Multiple Locations Throughout Morris

The Wellness Initiative for Senior Education (WISE) Program celebrates healthy aging and educates older adults so they are less likely to experience problems associated with alcohol and medications and more likely to make positive lifestyle choices as they age. We provide older adults with the information and resources they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and feel empowered about their health and the health care they receive. This program is generously funded through a grant from the NJ State Office of faith Based Initiatives

Take Control of Your Health, aka The Chronic Disease Self-Management Program,  is a Stanford University developed workshop where people with different chronic diseases attend together. It teaches the skills needed in the day-to-day management of treatment and to maintain and/or increase life’s activities.This program is generously funded through a grant from the NJ State department of health and Senior Services.

WISE and take Control programs are currently underway in The St. Clare's Hospital in Dover and the Rockaway Township Health Department. New programs are scheduled to start after the first of the year at Horizons Senior Living and again in Rockaway Township If you or someone you know are interested in participating in WISE or Take Control of Your health, please contact Barb Kauffman at Morris County Prevention is Key, 973-625-1998 or bkauffman@mcpik.org.
