Older adults ‘Keep Well, Keep Movin’ Community Health Festival a huge

success!

 

A free community health festival to help older adults connect with support and

wellbeing services took place in Midleton, Co.Cork on March 8th, from 10am-

3pm. HSE Cork North Community Work Department, Cork Kerry Community

Health Care organised the Keep Well, Keep Movin & Older Adults Community

Health Festival which saw in excess of 200 older adults in attendance.

 

Keep Well, Keep Movin & aims to connect older adults with a wide range of

community, voluntary and primary care services which promote enhanced

physical, social, cognitive, mental health and wellbeing. The health festival

involved guest speakers who spoke about Fair Deal, Singing for the Brain and

Falls and Frailty. The afternoon consisted of taster sessions in Retirement and

Mental Health, Activator Poles (to aid walking and balance), Mindfulness and

Cardiac First Response. A wide range of community and primary health

services were also present and open to the public to browse and speak to

professionals which they would otherwise not have had the opportunity to do

so.

 

Eileen O Leary, HSE General Manager Non-Residential Services Older Persons,

says: " The Keep Well, Keep Movin Community Health Festival was a great way

for older adults to learn about the primary healthcare, community, voluntary

and statutory services that are available to them and how such services can

assist older adults to stay well, active and connected..”

 

There are plans to deliver another ‘Keep Well Keep Movin’ Older Adults

Community Health festival in Cork City in June 2023 and in North Cork in

October 2023. If you would like to find out more about the Festival or you

would like to get involved in future events then please contact Nicola Lucey,
