Vanguard students "wake up to smell the muscles" during physical fitness week

This week Vanguard Charter Academy students and teachers participated in Physical Fitness Week with the goals of being more aware of our bodies, raising awareness of what the body can do, learn how to better care for our bodies and to learn what to put into our bodies.  SNL’s “Hans and Franz” (aka Vanguard teachers) helped lead the week with a special kickoff event on Monday.

Wyoming Seniors on the Go

Wyoming Seniors on the Go

Today begins the first of many walks sponsored through the Wyoming Senior Center in Wyoming, MI. The walk today is being held in Pinery Park and a schedule for all future walks is available at the Senior Center.

Walking is one of the best ways of getting exercise and meeting new people. The walks are geared at a leisurely pace and are low–impact. What a great way to get out and about to enjoy Mother Nature and enjoy the company of others.

All walks take place every Wednesday morning at 9:00am beginning April 18th and running until September 26th. Meet at the Wyoming Senior Center or the designated place on the schedule each week.

Public Invited to Medicare and Medicaid Dual Eligibility Discussions

Residents across the area are invited to join the Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Boards (MACMHB) at two forums to discuss the state’s proposed plan for those that are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid services.

Last year, Michigan was awarded a federal planning grant to examine “dual eligibility” and how to provide better integrated care and create a more efficient health care system. The proposed plan was released in Lansing on March 5, and will cover services and benefits for persons with both Medicare and Medicaid eligibility. The forums will give persons with dual eligibility an opportunity to review the proposed plan, and to ask questions of representatives from the Michigan Department of Community Health’s Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities administration.

Wyoming City Council Endorses Long Term Pharmaceutical Take Back Program

Wyoming, Mich. – As part of its continued commitment to sustainability, including environmental quality, the Wyoming City Council recently signed the “Key Elements of Pharmaceutical Collection and Disposal Programs: A Vision for the Great Lakes Region.”
 
The document was developed with input from government officials and organizations in states around the Great Lakes, including City of Wyoming Environmental Services Supervisor Dave Oostindie. The document sets out a vision for the future in which all residents have access to convenient, secure pharmaceutical disposal programs. The document also describes a future where those who benefit from the manufacture, sale and use of pharmaceutical drugs have the greatest responsibility for ensuring program success. In the document, pharmaceutical companies are targeted to fund the expansion of existing programs or create and sustain new infrastructure.
