Register now for Stay Independent nutrition and wellbeing program

Stay Independent is a nutrition and wellbeing program offered through Iowa State University Extension and Outreach for adults who are 60 and older. The program begins July 1 in Monroe.

“Our program provides topics related to the nutrition risks and key behaviors of older Iowans through research-based nutrition and wellness information. Other topics help Iowans assess environmental factors to age in place, identify financial exploitation and fraud, and raise awareness about planning for future care and end-of-life decisions,” Cathy Drost, human sciences specialist, said.

An upcoming series will be offered from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. Mondays, July 1 through July 15 at The Gathering Place. The topics include: Power Up with Protein, Brain Health and Thriving in Place.

There is no cost to attend the programs but registration is necessary.
