WISC is a community service project that strives to improve wellness and fitness especially during these tough times. With the Covid-19 pandemic many seniors are forced to stay at home so we have come up with an idea to help seniors stay active!

This program is an initiative taken by a High schooler in FBISD for a community service project and is supported by Bhora Clinic a primary care and wellness clinic. High school students will be involved in collecting data under the guidance of qualified and certified professionals. They will be following up with seniors and motivating them to reach their wellness goals and share their progress and address any questions or concerns they may have.

The program will monitor physical and mental aspects such as depression and cognitive functions, as well as balance, fall-risk, muscle mass and body composition. The factors listed above will be improved when members are consistently active and lead a healthy lifestyle.

This program is entirely free of cost
