Williamsport — Across the United States, over 100,000 people are expected to participate in the country’s biggest senior health and wellness event: National Senior Health & Fitness Day on May 26.

All events start at 10 a.m. and are free to UPMC for Life members and anyone 60 or older. Members should bring their member ID card.

This year marks the 29th annual National Senior Health & Fitness Day and the 15th year that UPMC for Life, UPMC’s Medicare Advantage plan, is its state sponsor.

“The physical and mental health benefits of staying active and fit are so important for older Pennsylvanians. That’s why UPMC for Life is proud to celebrate our 15th year of serving as the state sponsor of National Senior Health & Fitness Day in Pennsylvania,” said Diane Holder, President and CEO of UPMC Health Plan. “UPMC for Life is excited to coordinate events across the state and we encourage seniors to get involved so they can lead active and healthy lifestyles.”

Guests can enjoy SilverSneakers fitness demonstrations and a tour of the YMCA, access to a Health Care Concierge, a t-shirt giveaway, and light refreshments. The event is being held in partnership with UPMC’s Age Well program in Northcentral Pennsylvania.
