Forever Young is open to the public with a cost less than your co-pay at the doctor’s office: $15 in advance; $20 at the door; or $12 a ticket for groups of 20 or more. Tickets and the event program are available online at www.foreveryounghealth.org.

 

Featuring local and national physcians, wellness practitioners, therapists, educators, authors, and chefs, Forever Young+ will also feature health and wellness guru Dr. Andrew Weil along with other guest speakers who will discuss many topics geared towards better physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

 

Designed to educate, empower, and entertain, attendees will have the opportunity to meet with Einstein physicians, participate in a wide variety of yoga and fitness classes, watch cooking demonstrations, and hear expert speakers discuss topics ranging from better sex, sleep, or golf to mindfulness, stress reduction, fall prevention, plant-strong eating, and other important topics for adults from ages 25 and up.

 

“Forever Young was envisioned as an event where the public could benefit from access to a diverse program of valuable health and wellness information. Proceeds from Forever Young support social services provided by the Klein JCC to more than 30,000 persons from 2 to 102. Klein JCC is Philadelphia’s largest senior center, with an on-site wellness center, so the mission of Forever Young is closely aligned with Klein JCC’s: to promote healthier, happier lifestyles,” said Toby Strogatz, Founder of Forever Young+.
