Sterling Silver Club Hosts Virtual Stretching Lecture for 55+
La Dra. Kelly Winkel, fisioterapeuta de Renown Health, dirige un evento virtual para conectar a los adultos a través de ejercicios básicos de estiramiento y estrategias de movimiento útiles que ayudarán a un envejecimiento saludable. Para ayudar a los miembros de nuestra comunidad mayores de 55 a experimentar los numerosos beneficios de los estiramientos, el Sterling Silver Club de Renown llevará a cabo la conferencia virtual gratuita de ejercicios de estiramiento “Rise and Shine” el miércoles, 15 de julio de 10 a 11 a.m. Durante el evento en directo, Kelly Winkel, doctora en fisioterapia de Renown Physical Therapy, enseñará a los asistentes los principios básicos del ejercicio a medida que envejecemos y ofrecerá una demostración de ejercicios suaves de estiramiento y estabilización que lo ayudarán a comenzar el día. También compartirá su experiencia sobre algunas de las dolencias comunes que desarrollamos a medida que envejecemos y ofrecerá consejos para superarlas. Este evento virtual se celebrará a través de Microsoft Teams. Los interesados en asistir deben confirmar su asistencia en línea o por teléfono al 775-982-7787. A dial-in option is available for individuals who don’t have access to a computer. “A good morning stretching routine puts the body in motion and has the power to set the tone of your entire day,” said Dr. Winkel. “Plus, stretching becomes even more important as we age and our range of movement lessens and we wake up with more aches and pains. Improved flexibility, balance, muscle control and a reduced risk of injury are just a few of the wellness benefits of routine stretching, all contributing to a healthier lifestyle. There is no better way to start your day than with a few tried-and-true stretches.” Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable workout attire and sturdy shoes so they can try the exercises out with the group. También se los invita a pedir aclaraciones o adaptaciones si es necesario. 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. El Club es un programa del Renown Institute for Healthy Aging. Los miembros disfrutan de beneficios exclusivos que han sido diseñados teniendo en cuenta sus intereses. From social events and lectures to entertainment, special discounts, and health insights and tips, this club is a place for community members to shine and embrace the joys of healthy aging. While the Sterling Silver Club is not currently hosting in-person events during this time, it is hosting educational talks like this one to help aging adults stay healthy through its online channels. “The last few months have been difficult for many older adults as they stay indoors with little to no in-person contact with their loved ones,” said Tori DellaRocca, who oversees Renown’s Sterling Silver Club loyalty program. “The need to stay connected is more important now than ever. It has been a joy giving our members something to look forward to- a chance to learn, ask questions and share their stories. Seeing everyone tune in from their homes has been a powerful reminder that we truly are all in this together.” For more information on upcoming virtual events from Renown’s Sterling Silver Club and to sign up, please visit www.renown.org/SterlingSilver.

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.
