Griffin Health and the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut will host health education programs for Valley seniors about hearing issues this July.

The presentations are scheduled for Thurs., July 2 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at the Ansonia Senior Center, Mon., July 6 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at the Seymour Senior Center, Thurs., July 9 from 1:30-2:30 at the Oxford Senior Center, Wed., July 22 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the Shelton Senior Center, and Thurs., July 23 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. at the Derby Neck Library.
These offerings are part of the AgeWell program, which is co-sponsored by Griffin Health and the Agency on Aging of South-Central Connecticut to increase access to care and prevent disease in the Valley senior community through a series of health screenings and healthy living education sessions each month.
