When you’re feeling better, you do more living.

Dr. Gus, head of our medical program, takes your emotional and intellectual health as seriously as your physical fitness.

Through his popular health care forums, plus guest lecturers, seminars and reading materials, you’ll learn more about potential health care issues for seniors, and strategies for maintaining good health.

You’ll discuss diet and nutrition, medical breakthroughs and new discoveries. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself stepping confidently into activities that keep you active and energized – from line-dancing to golf, gardening –maybe even yoga.
