Free JenCare Festival Encourages Seniors to Socialize and Learn About Valuable Community Services
New Orleans, La. (PRWEB) June 29, 2019 -- The ability to connect socially with others plays an important role in seniors’ mental and physical health as they age. Today, dozens of organizations and volunteers will join the JenCare Senior Medical Center Summer Festival to provide food, music and information that helps seniors stay engaged and active in their community. Hundreds of Medicare-eligible seniors are expected to attend JenCare Fest today between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the JenCare center at 3530 Houma Boulevard in Metairie.
The senior-focused community event will include tasty food and treats, and lively music from DJ Rockin Ron and the Linda Wright Band. Tours of JenCare also will be available. Companies and organizations that will be on hand to provide information for seniors will include those that offer health and beauty, insurance and financial, and allied medical and nutrition products and services.
“This event is an opportunity to bring our seniors out to have fun while learning about valuable services in the community available to them,” said Vijayendra Jaligam, M.D., associate market chief medical officer of JenCare. “It’s also a great time for seniors and their caregivers to see the pioneers of value-based care and the future of medicine in New Orleans. JenCare is where primary care clinicians honor seniors with affordable VIP care that delivers better health.”
All seniors who attend the festival will be entered into a raffle for a $100 gift card, plus over a dozen other drawings. Promotional value is nominal. Seniors’ friends and family also are welcome to attend the fest.
