PPh 6th Annual Wellness Symposium

Posted on: Apr 03, 2017

Although there are specific months and days dedicated to health and fitness, at PPh the initiative is everyday year-round.

On Friday March 31 PPh, with the help of some local partners reiterated that message at the 6th Annual Wellness Symposium. The symposium was a celebration of all forms of health and a reminder to our residents, staff and community members that total health is physical and mental.

A sincere thanks is in order to the over 35 vendors from community health organizations who participated in giveaways, live demonstrations, question & answer sessions and blood pressure screenings. The initiative is an everyday push and PPh is thankful for all of its community partners for helping relay the message of total health and wellness in mind, body and spirit.

What Residents Say

"In my nine years at PPH, I’ve grown to like it very much. At first, I felt like a stranger and then as I began to talk to people, we increasingly became good friends. A way to meet people is to join clubs. I’m now part of the PPH Auxiliary. I love helping with their flea markets because you never know what you can find. Recently, I’ve joined an evening quilting class. I love that I can continue to enjoy my life outside of PPH while experiencing the offers here.…especially the pool! Everything is just so convenient.

– Lucille Hite, Independent Living resident

What Families Say

"My mom is sooo happy at PPH, I can’t even describe it in strong enough words. She’s met so many new friends and these ladies do EVERYTHING together! She sees Dad every day in Pathways, but can have her life too. She’s gone to so many activities and I think I’ve already been to Scoops with her at least 15 times. She loves the dining room and Bistro too. My sister, Ilene, and I are so delighted that Mom is happy.......Wow, it feels like Mom’s been there about 2 years—but it’s only 2 months!! That’s how comfortable and natural it feels for her – and for all of us.

– Rhonda Frenkel, daughter of resident Bernice Segal
