Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) hosted a successful Senior Day event on April 24th, welcoming over 50 area seniors and their families for a day centered on promoting health, wellness, and connection for older adults.
The free, come-and-go event included a health and wellness vendor fair, complimentary lunch, informative presentations from MRHC staff, and valuable resources for seniors. Topics ranged from medication safety and mobility to mental health, Medicare fraud, and skilled care options. Attendees enjoyed engaging discussions and the chance to connect directly with healthcare professionals.
“It was a meaningful day that strengthened community bonds and highlighted the importance of caring for our older residents,” shared Haylee Barsby, MSN, RN, the Senior Day event coordinator and clinic nurse. “It was so awesome to see vendors interact with our community members and showcase local businesses who can help with the aging process. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make it a positive experience for all!”
