“Wellness starts with knowledge and community. Let us be your partner in both.”, says Stacey Johnson.
Staying healthy isn’t just about doctor visits and prescriptions—it’s about community, nutrition, fitness, and emotional well-being. Fortunately, Vancouver and the surrounding Southwest Washington region are home to numerous resources that help Medicare recipients thrive.
At Your Insurance Gal Agency, we believe Medicare is just one piece of the wellness puzzle. That’s why we work to connect clients to services like:
- Vancouver Parks & Recreation Senior Programs: Offering group exercise classes, social meetups, art programs, and health workshops tailored for older adults.
- Meals on Wheels People: This incredible organization delivers nutritious meals and companionship to seniors who are homebound or unable to cook.
- Area Agency on Aging & Disabilities of Southwest Washington (AAADSW): Provides information on caregiving, housing, nutrition, and transportation. They offer valuable case management services for aging adults and people with disabilities.
We also recommend visiting your local community centers or libraries for free or low-cost classes and health screenings. Many of these services are covered under preventive benefits in Medicare plans.
Firstenberg & Marshall/Luepke Community Centers
These centers provide a variety of programs for seniors:
- Trapedero II: A drop-in space at Firstenberg Center offering coffee, conversation, books, puzzles, and cards. Open Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Luepke Center: Features table games like cards, cribbage, and mah-jongg. Open Monday–Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
