Clinic Offers Seniors Health Information
The Veterans Administration Southern California System of Clinics will present the 1998 Elder Fest on Friday as part of Older Americans Month.
The Sepulveda Outpatient Clinic will host the event.
About 30 organizations will cover topics related to health and aging, including in-home services, sex after 60, estate planning, exercise and health training.
Pharmacists will also be available to review prescription drugs and check for side effects of medications.
“People thought the hospital closed down after the earthquake, and this is a way to showcase the services we have available to the public,” said Marti Waite, event chairwoman.
In addition to a series of health-related seminars and lectures, the festival will showcase patient services available to seniors. Included will be health screenings, nutritional counseling and tests for body fat, glaucoma and oral cancer.
The free event will run from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. at 16111 Plummer St., building 200.
