S.H.A.R.P.

Senior Health Advocacy and Revitalization

The Riverside Community Health Foundation has long been committed to enhancing the well-being of seniors. With ongoing involvement in Senior Collaborations throughout Riverside, RCHF runs the Senior Health Advocacy, Revitalization, and Promotion (S.H.A.R.P.) Program. Through this program, seniors receive monthly health education classes. S.H.A.R.P. operates in 8 sites, including senior facilities and senior centers. A few of the topics covered are, Heart Healthy Meals for One or Two, Cooking with Herbs and Seasonings, Fitness Fun, Evaluating Dietary Supplement and Dietary Fat-Fact or Fiction. We seek to enhance the quality of life for seniors with an intimate and comprehensive approach to health education and community resources.
