Senior Health Series

About Senior Health Series

The Senior Health Lunch Series addresses prevalent health concerns among our senior population in the form of free, community education presentations. The bi-monthly series aims to positively influence the health behaviors of men and women ages 55+ within the communities we serve. Seniors and their adult caregivers are invited to join us for a healthy meal where they may socialize with friends and neighbors while listening to topics of interest presented by one of UM-Health Sparrow’s highly-skilled experts.

Join us for our next event!

The next Senior Health Series event will be held Wednesday, December 4 at 11:30 a.m. on the topic of Lifestyle Medicine presented by Michelle Becher, D.O., FACOOG, gynecologist surgeon and Jessica Lutz, D.O., family medicine provider with UM Health-Sparrow.

We encourage you to arrive a few minutes early. Parking is FREE and complimentary lunch will be provided. The Michigan Athletic Club is located at 2900 Hannah Blvd., East Lansing, MI 48823. The lunch will be held in the Spartan and Capital conference rooms. As you walk into the main entrance (you will see Starbucks to the left), head right and you will turn left at the first hallway.
