Wellness is more than health and disease prevention. It is about creating a lifestyle that is deliberately focused on physical, mental, and emotional well-being. At the RSS Wellness Corner, you will find information about healthy eating, chronic disease prevention and maintenance, health tips, and more. Our goal is to offer you tools to help you live your best life.

RSS knows that women have special health needs. Our Women's Wellness Program encourages women to develop and maintain holistic approaches to healthy aging. Programs include:
- Women’s Support Group: Women help each other cope with the physical, mental and emotional changes of aging; provide support with caregiving issues and to those dealing with the loss of a loved one or widowhood. See the calendar for days and times.
- Health Education & Management Services; Women participating in any one of our wellness programs can take advantage of health-management services provided by a registered nurse. Services include blood pressure monitoring, health referrals, and health counseling services with a focus on nutrition, medication, weight management, and chronic illness.
- Women’s Circle: Launched in 2015, the Women’s Circle provides a late-afternoon forum where women over sixty gather to learn, network and enjoy each other’s company. The Circle focuses on maintaining wellness and building a vibrant community of women with common interests and goals. The Women’s Circle gathers once each month for a discussion group with relevant guests and speakers. After the formal portion of the presentation concludes, members stay to continue the conversation over a light supper. Check out the calendar to learn more about the next Women's Circle.
