OSCIL lunch & learn workshop to focus on benefits of exercise

Posted

The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) will host a Lunch and Learn Workshop Wednesday, August 31 from 12-2 p.m. at OSCIL’s Warwick office at 1944 Warwick Avenue, Warwick.

Discussion will focus on OSCIL’s new partnership with the YMCA. This new initiative will enable those who qualify to receive a special membership rate to participate in YMCA programs. Studies have shown exercise can increase physical fitness, stamina, independent living skills and also contribute to an overall sense of well-being.

In addition, a representative from the Cranston YMCA will present information on the FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) Bike that exercises impaired limbs to increase muscle tone, bone density and flexibility.

United Way’s 211 Outreach RV will also be onsite to answer questions on other resources and services available in the state.

As part of OSCIL’s outreach and community education initiative, OSCIL offers these free “Lunch and Learn” workshops highlighting various solutions that can increase access in your home and community.

A sign language interpreter and CART (provided by Hamilton Relay) have been secured for this event.

Please call 738-1013 if you plan to attend. Seating is Limited. Lunch will be served.
