By Sarah Shurge  – If you are a senior or know any seniors, mark your calendar because the 4th Annual Senior Health & Information Expo will be Thursday, October 22nd, from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at HYPE Athletics (4635 Howe Rd).
The event is being brought to you by the City of Wayne Commission on Aging in cooperation with HYPE Athletics. The Commission on Aging was established for the purpose of promoting the enrichment of the lives of the aging who reside in Wayne.
The event will have free blood pressure screenings, vendors, and a free, light lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m. (RSVP preferred).
Types of vendors attending the event: Home Health Care, Elder Law Attorney, Medicare Insurance Agent, End of Life Planning, Senior Living Centers, Wayne Westland Federal Credit Union, Senior Resource Centers, Wayne Police, Wayne Fire, Wayne Library, The Senior Alliance, Western Wayne Family Health Centers, Wayne Metro Action Agency, Mary Kay Beauty, Massage Therapy, and National Kidney Foundation of Michigan.
Vendor Cost: $50.00
“Holding an event like this is important as it brings many valuable resources, services, and opportunities together for older adults in one accessible place,” said Cathy Broge, City of Wayne Community Development Administrative Assistant. “Having an opportunity to gather this critical information in person as opposed to online is invaluable.”
Broge has been working with the City of Wayne for 43 years. She has been in her current role for almost four years.
“My favorite part of my job is having the ability to serve the community in numerous capacities. I have always loved working with people,” said Broge.
The City of Wayne Commission on Aging hosts presentations at different times of the year using the vendors who participate in their expo.
They have a Senior Self Defense Class for the month of September on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. at City Hall in the Council Chambers. On Thursday, September 8th, at 3 p.m. there will be a Medicare 101 class.
