Ontario, OH – To prioritize the health and wellness of our community, the Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, Inc., in collaboration with Third Street Family Health Services, is happy to host their third “Wellness Wednesday.” The event will be at 2131 Park Avenue West, door 300, in Ontario, on Wednesday, September 13, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

 

Wellness Wednesdays will share the importance of vaccinations and provide interactive classes emphasizing physical and mental wellness, such as exercise, nutrition, and self-care. By offering comprehensive resources and activities, the Agency hopes to inspire positive lifestyle changes and encourage individuals to prioritize their health and happiness.
