Sound Living: Helping Older Adults Stay Strong & Healthy - 6/14/2025

The Stay Strong, Stay Healthy program offered by K-State Research and Extension is designed to improve health and quality of life for older adults. The hour-long sessions meet twice each week and over the course of eight weeks, participants learn exercises to improve their strength and balance. Northeast area family and consumer sciences specialist, Sharolyn Jackson, and Northwest area family and consumer sciences specialist, Ashley Svaty (swat-ee), discuss the program and how it provides participants with the knowledge, confidence and desire to continue the exercises on their own or as part of a group after the program concludes.
