East Rockingham Senior Center: JMU nursing students health fair

Six JMU nursing students serving a four-week practicum at the East Rock Senior Center offered a health and nutrition fair at the East Rock SC on Oct. 13.

Since attendance was sparse (only 13 members attending at the time of their presentation), the center director took the opportunity to invite a few folks who were conversing in our community center. Fortunately, four guests took the opportunity to come and join us … one of them is actually a member of our Local Council.

The topics included: Fall Foods, Water Aerobics, Dominoes (Enhancing Brain Power), Arthritis, Health Leftovers and Memory. Each student did an excellent job of presenting their topic and providing us with many useful tips and, in some cases, recipes.

This was the last day of service from this group of students, but a new group will join us again on Oct. 19.
