Information Session: Wed, January 19 at 1:00pm

High blood pressure is often referred to as “The Silent Killer” because there are typically no warning signs or symptoms. High blood pressure is a key, modifiable, risk factor for both heart disease and stroke, which are two of the leading causes of death in the United States. This 4 month program will help you gain the skills needed to manage/or lower your blood pressure.

Proof of vaccination is required for all in-person classes & activities

The Whatcom Council on Aging has implemented a mandatory vaccination policy requiring COVID-19 vaccination for access to the Bellingham Senior Activity Center and participation in our in-person programming beginning Monday, December 13, 2021. WCOA’s mission requires us to provide a safe and welcoming environment for the high-risk population we serve.

We are adopting this policy to safeguard the health of our program participants and the community at large from an infectious disease that may be reduced by vaccinations. This is also an important step as we work to rebuild our senior center program participation and restart our congregate meals in the future.

The Bellingham Senior Activity Center is open for online and in-person programs, Monday through Friday. To-go meals are available each Wednesday.
