The Black Diamond Community Center has a variety of health programs for seniors:
The Walkers - Not a morning person? Think again! Join the Walkers every Monday and Friday at 7:30am to take an hour stroll through Black Diamond. We have two groups to suit different walking speeds, so if you're slow, you'll fit right in somewhere! Afterwards enjoy a warm cup of coffee at the center. Wednesday walks take place at the Wilderness trail at Four Corners, just behind the Do-It Center. The Walkers meet back up at the Center around 9am for coffee.
Foot Care is available on the third Thursday of each month in the morning and afternoon. 30 minute appointments are available, and should be made in advance over the phone. The nurse is available from 9am until 4pm. Cost is only $25! Please bring a towel with you to dry your feet.
The Black Diamond Fire Department comes to BDCC on Thursdays around 11:30am to conduct blood pressure checks. This service is free and does not require appointments!
Taking Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) meets every Friday at 10am in the pool room. This group of gals functions as a great support group for those with a variety of weight goals, maintaining current weight or losing any given amount of weight. The group starts gathering at 9am for weigh-in and to socialize. The official meeting runs from 10am until 11am. Ladies are welcome to stay for lunch afterward, only $3!
The Health Fair comes each year in early October. We have a variety of vendors from the area come with lots of information - brochures, freebies, and more! The health fair begins at 11am and ends at 1pm. Vendors include AARP, Senior Services of Seattle King County and Senior Rights Assistance, just to name a few!
If you would like information or to participate in any of these activities, please call 360-886-1011, or stop by during business hours, Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm.
