Isaiah Wellness Center

The primary goal of the Isaiah Wellness Center is to provide residents of Apostolic Towers and elders in East Baltimore with health promotion and enrichment activ­ities aimed at enhancing their ability to live healthy and fulfilling lives. Health education programs are designed to promote the client’s ability to manage his/her illnesses. Self-efficacy is enhanced through programs like diabetes support, “exercise for independence” and medication review. Healthy aging is promoted by offering older adults opportunities to volunteer in the community and learn new skills such as painting, writing, and computer use. The Isaiah Wellness Center offers a senior citizen outreach facility run through the JHSON Community Collaborations Program.
