Two-Part Health Seminar to be Held at Hart Park House Senior Center

The informational sessions will be held on May 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The Hart Park House Senior Center will be presenting a two-part health seminar focused on stress management and drug interactions on Monday, May 13.

The event at the center located at 222 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. will begin with a  presentation on stress management hosted by the YWCA San Gabriel Valley from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. The YWCA San Gabriel Valley is seeking to increase the knowledge of older adults on stress as well as the point of entry of available mental health services. This presentation will provide an increased knowledge of stress, its impact, and techniques to manage stressors in one’s life. This presentation is also beneficial for care givers of older adults.

Then from 2 p.m to 3 p.m., Walgreens Pharmacy will provide a presentation on managing drug interactions. This presentation is a must for those that take several different medicines (prescription or over the counter), see more than one doctor, or have certain health conditions. Understanding how medications interact will help prevent negative drug interactions. Individuals are encouraged to bring their prescriptions for clarification.
