El poder de una llamada telefónica; Renown Health se comunica con los miembros de la comunidad mayores de 55
Los empleados de Renown se ofrecieron como voluntarios para contactar a más de 2,500 adultos mayores que participan en el club gratuito de la organización, el Sterling Silver Club. While people of all ages are coping with the challenges of social isolation, there is one group of individuals who may feel especially lonely during these uncertain times—our aging adults. To offer some friendly conversation and answer any questions older adults may have about Renown’s commitment to keeping them safe during the COVID-19 crisis, Renown Health employees are making phone calls to its Sterling Silver Club members. Hasta la fecha, los empleados han realizado casi 1,000 llamadas telefónicas. Renown is also hosting several virtual events to reach older audiences. “The human element of connecting with these members is really special,” said Tori DellaRocca, who oversees this loyalty program at Renown. “Many of the people we call live alone and some have no one to check in on them. It has been a pleasure talking to our members; learning more about them and what they’re doing to pass the time, offering ideas to help them stay busy, and assuring them Renown is here to keep them safe. Desde el lanzamiento de esta campaña en marzo, hacer estas llamadas telefónicas ha sido el punto destacado de mi día, y sé que no soy la única que se siente así”. Todas las personas mayores de 55 están invitadas a unirse al Sterling Silver Club gratuito de Renown, creado para ayudar a las personas a vivir vidas felices y saludables todos los días. Members enjoy exclusive benefits all designed with their interests in mind. From social events and lectures to entertainment (virtual for now), special discounts, and health insights and tips, this club is a place for community members to shine and embrace the joys of healthy aging. “I enjoy the lectures,” said Sterling Silver Club member Liz Barnes. “They appeal to my desire to know more and invariably provide an ‘informed’ call to action.” “After the [lecture] on diabetes prevention, I enrolled in the one-year long, Renown-sponsored diabetes prevention program,” said Liz’s husband, Barry. “After the sleep seminar, I changed my bedtime habits.” Si bien el Sterling Silver Club no organiza eventos presenciales actualmente, organiza charlas educativas como esta a través de sus canales en línea para ayudar a los adultos mayores a mantenerse sanos. “Hello Project” es un lugar de encuentro virtual para adultos mayores de 65 que se centra en la salud y el bienestar y ofrece un apoyo social positivo, lo que es posible gracias a una asociación entre Renown Health, Truckee Meadows Healthy Communities y el Distrito de Salud del Condado de Washoe. These virtual gatherings are hosted every Tuesday and Thursday at noon. Community members can learn more here. Además, el Club Sterling Silver llevará a cabo un evento en Facebook Live llamado “¿Existe una relación entre la edad y la ansiedad?”, que se celebrará el martes, 28 de abril, de 11 a.m. a 12 p. m. During this live event, Renown psychologist Dr. Buddy Coard will discuss the impact of anxiety as we age and what we can do to prevent it from getting in the way of enjoying life. Those interested in attending can RSVP here. “Our members have enjoyed the opportunity to learn from experts in the field of healthy aging as well as connect with their fellow community members,” said DellaRocca. “We’re all in this together, and these virtual events, combined with our phone call efforts, show our older population they truly are not alone.” For more information on upcoming virtual events from Renown’s Sterling Silver Club and to sign up, please visit www.renown.org/SterlingSilver.
