About Our Movement:

The MB MOVEMENT vision is to help people enjoy increased quality of life and prevent premature institutionalization.

Our mission is to help individuals make informed decisions regarding their health through exercise and education.

According to the National Council on Aging, approximately 49 million Americans are 65 and older, with projections estimating that the population of older adults will grow to 98 million in 2060. For most Older Adults, good health ensures:

independence,
security, and
productivity as they age

Unfortunately, millions struggle every day with challenges such as chronic diseases, falls, physical inactivity, oral health concerns, and behavioral health issues—all of which can severely impact quality of life. Source: https://www.ncoa.org/article/get-the-facts-on-healthy-aging.

MB MOVEMENT combats these challenges by providing programs and services that focus on holistic wellness for Older Adults– mind, body & spirit. Our services include health support, virtual/in-person wellness workshops, fitness presentations, and health-related education. We also offer Move Baby, Move!, our evidenced-based chair fitness program designed for Older Adults that is endorsed by the American Heart Association and recognized as a promising practice by the American Diabetes Association.
