The Senior Health Advisory Council is a group of individuals and agency representatives who meet on a regular basis with a mission to:
“Provide a Link for Galveston County Senior Citizens
to Health and Social Services.”
This Council was formed as a way to address the Galveston County Health District's Strategic Health Plan Priority on Senior Health. The Council has identified two main priorities for 2004 - 2005:
Priority Area #1: Promote wellness, fitness, and prevention of health problems/diseases and enable seniors to live independently in their homes as long as possible.
Activities
- A senior community needs assessment and
- The linking of senior citizens to appropriate community services.
Priority Area #2: Improve the way we communicate with seniors and their caregivers, and make health care services affordable.
