Senior Health Aided by Alabama Senior Rx Program

Senior Alabama residents will have the chance to take advantage of an initiative that allows them to acquire medications for some health problems.

The Northwest Alabama Council of Local Governments, and Keller Home Healthcare and Hospice, the Alabama Department of Public Health and the Alabama Department of Senior Services, are part of a twelve-month program designed to help seniors enjoy a healthier lifestyle through the Senior Rx and Wellness Program.

Janette Sutton, with NACOLG's Department of Aging Services, said, "We're trying to provide some preventative information," Sutton said. "What this is is a client self-monitoring program where program assistants go in, fill out information and let them know where they started and see where they are a few months from now to see the results in how their lifestyle has improved. We have been successful in helping get needed drugs for our clients,"

Julia Boughner, a physician with Helen Keller Hospital in Sheffield, said the hospital is one of the many places offering the wellness program.

"We've had good participation," she said. "The topics focus on several different areas, and they're very informative."

With the Senior Rx program, certain things are required to participate regarding insurance, age, prescription coverage, income and health conditions.

This is a step in the right direction for Alabama senior health.
