Health, Prevention, and Wellness Program Law and Legal Definition
The Administration on Aging’s Health, Prevention, and Wellness Program enables participants to modify existing health self-management behaviors through group interaction and reinforcement. Through collaboration with Health and Human Services Agencies, the National Council on Aging (NCOA), and philanthropic organizations, Administration on Aging has created national partnerships that have addressed the need for community-based health, prevention, and wellness programs.
These programs increase self-efficacy, decrease health service utilization, and enable participants to adopt healthy self-management behaviors. Older Americans are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease. Therefore, the need for programs that enable older adults to learn and practice healthy behaviors is critical.
