First Senior Retreat a success

“Are you having a good time?”

was the question.

The answer from the more than 400 seniors attending the first St. John’s Totally Healthy Senior Retreat at Chateau on the Lake in May, was “Absolutely!”

The two-day retreat, which featured a tropical theme, offered guest speakers, breakout sessions and a vendor hall.

In addition to the presentations, retreat attendees enjoyed healthy activities such as mini-facials, chair massages, and yoga.

Educational breakout sessions focused on heart health, alternative medicine, arthritis, Medicare, financial planning, long-term care, sexuality, nutrition, travel, men’s health, diabetes and foot care.

Personal health consults on acupuncture, how to interpret lab results, fitness and nutrition, reflexology, biofeedback, foot care and vitamin/herb/medication interactions were also
available.
