Changes Happening at
HealthWise 55 Stormont-Vail’s HealthWise 55 program has been providing clinics, health education and prevention resources for those aged 55 years and older for more than 23 years. With the rapid growth of an aging population and upcoming health care reform changes, Stormont-Vail HealthCare has made some changes to the program, including expanding the clinic services it offers to their HealthWise 55 members. The HealthWise 55 Clinic is now being managed by Amy Kincade, administrative director, Continuum of Care. She shared that she recognizes the need for clinical services for patients more than ever and plans to increase clinical services to make them more available to patients. “In the future, we would like to serve ‘all’ patients,” said Kincade. “Our goal is to expand beyond HealthWise 55 to HealthWise for all ages.”
Change of Hours The HealthWise 55 Clinic, located at 2252 S.W. 10th Street, is now open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Additional staff has been added to better serve those that take advantage of the clinic services. Several clinic dates and times have also been expanded to better serve our members (next page). Right: Paul Morse and Virginia Covert, HealthWise 55 members
