Classes & Events

A two-part education program series designed to increase understanding of dementia and improve skills for family caregivers.

These programs are presented in partnership between the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter and Jefferson’s Division of Geriatric Medicine and Palliative Care.

Topics include healthful guidelines, supplements, and nutrient-dense foods -- such as those with vitamins, minerals, complex carbs, lean protein, and healthy fats -- to maximize nutrition during a cancer diagnosis. 

Meditation - it can help you slow down, reframe your awareness and gain peace.  Join us for this 45-minute Zoom class where we will discuss, discover, and practice how meditation can bring you peace during these crazy times.

Join Orthopedic Hand and Wrist Surgeon Dr. Michael Rivlin, of Rothman

Orthopaedics, on Zoom for a free discussion on how nerve injuries can interfere with your quality of life.

Members provide emotional support and advice to each other.  Presentations by a Registered Dietitian every other 4th Monday.

The event is free and participants attend the entire fair in their vehicles.  Drivers will follow a map to the stations along the health fair route, and everyone in the car can participate.  The fair will include the opportunity to have a doctor or nurse answer health questions. There will also be raffles, giveaways and health information.  To ensure the community's health and safety, all vendors and participants are required to wear facial coverings.  Vendors will be spaced apart and participants will remain in their vehicles at all times.
