Our whole-person wellness programming offered at the UCCS HealthCircle Clinics is committed to helping older adults maintain a lifestyle that is of the highest quality attainable while concurrently preparing the future workforce with skills to understand, interact with and empower older adults. Through this unique, cross-generational and innovative approach, the HealthCircle Clinics provide a sustainable framework to connect the community and provide services aimed at improving the quality of life with a focus on fall prevention.
Students are exposed to new models of health service delivery and research to identify fall risk in older as well as middle aged adults, and understand multidisciplinary scopes of practice in order to form partnerships to enhance the physical, mental, emotional and social wellbeing of older adults.
