If granted, County to receive up to $30,000 from the Kaiser Permanente Community Benefit Grant Program.
BACKGROUND:
Seniors who exercise have lower overall healthcare costs, enjoy the benefits of great health and fitness and, in
most cases, experience a higher quality of life. Unfortunately, there are not enough appropriate and accessible
exercise classes in the community for the senior population.
The grant will fund a weekly instructional exercise presentation on Contra Costa Television (CCTV) to allow
seniors the opportunity to exercise regularly, at their chosen time, and in their own home. The program will
feature routines specifically designed for seniors such as low impact aerobics, strength and flexibility training,
and tai chi.
