About the Program
The Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (DPHP) program helps older adults stay healthy, active, and independent. It offers free workshops that teach practical skills to prevent illness, manage ongoing health conditions, reduce falls, and improve overall well-being.
All workshops are evidence-based, meaning they have been tested and proven to improve health outcomes. Most are offered in small group settings, either in person or online.
