As part of the Governor’s Healthy Kansas Initiative, the Kansas Department on Aging has implemented an exercise program targeted for seniors over the age of 60.
Funding provided by The Sunflower Foundation: Health Care for Kansans.
The program is modeled after the award winning, nationally recognized EnhanceFitness Program and is designed to improve the quality of life for seniors by improving mobility, strength, coordination and balance that will help them maintain their independent lifestyles.
