In recognition of the International Day for Older Persons, celebrated annually on October 1st, the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs reaffirmed its commitment to the well-being of Saint Lucia’s senior citizens by hosting a special health and fitness session. The event brought together residents from various Homes for the Elderly for a day dedicated to physical activity and well-being, highlighting the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle for older persons.

Organized by the Ministry’s Health Education and Communications Unit in collaboration with the Elderly Affairs Unit, the event took place at the La Clery playing field. It featured light exercise routines tailored specifically for the elderly, focusing on mobility, flexibility, and balance.
