UAB Arts in Medicine is a jewel in the Birmingham community. Let's all hope its funding sources remain intact🙏🏽Its Aging Creatively program provides FREE music, movement, storytelling and visual art classes to HUD-funded assisted- and independent-living facilities; it is thus able to help those who have cared so much for others, age creatively.

I have been offering Chair Yoga classes as part of this program since last year. And, am pleased to announce that I'm at two area facilities with weekly classes for five weeks🌻

Please spread the word to friends & family living in any of these places:

🌻AHEPA Penelope: Mondays at 1:30, Aug 18 - Sept 15
💚AHEPA 3: Fridays at 1:30, Aug 15 - Sept 10
