Health Programs
Sometimes it can be overwhelming to figure out what health topics are the most important to you. Also, it can be tough to figure out what sources are reliable and which you should trust. Rest assured you can start with Oasis’ health classes. We make sure our community partners and professionals are not selling products and that their information is based on current research. Oasis can help you sift through an endless sea of available information to help you discover what’s more important to you in order to stay healthy and productive.
Although we often think of health issues- both in terms of symptoms and remedies- by specific organs and systems, often the same healthy habits positively impact many parts of your body. By focusing on a specific health issue, you’re likely getting broad health benefits.
However, Oasis works with experts across the country to educate you for what’s most important.
Bone Health
No one wants to break a bone. We’ve all heard the horror stories and are aware of how scary some statistics around fractures are -especially hip fractures. Osteoporosis is a very common condition- about half of women and a quarter of men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis.

Heart Health
A lifestyle that’s good for your heart is good for your entire body. And since heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, why not move towards a heart-healthy lifestyle? Oasis has classes to keep you on track, educate you about new research regarding prevention and interventions that can impact one’s heart health.
