COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The St John’s Geriatric Centre (SJGC) designs and implements programmes aimed at promoting holistic wellness among older adults and their caregivers. These initiatives span multiple domains of well-being, including physical activity, mental and cognitive health, recreation, spirituality, and social engagement.

Current initiatives include:

• Internal Yoga Programme under the EngAging Positive initiative, promoting healthy ageing among St John’s staff aged 30 years and above.
• Healthy Ageing Sessions for individuals aged 40 years and above, conducted in external organisations. These sessions are led by a multidisciplinary team comprising a doctor, dietician, and physiotherapist, and focus on ageing successfully through sustainable lifestyle, nutrition, and movement-based interventions.

Several additional community-based wellness programmes, including the establishment of resource room programmes for older adults in the community, are in the pipeline.
