The Office on Aging Wellness Centers provide comprehensive programs that promote the health and wellness of DC senior residents 60 years of age and older. The programs serve as city-wide health education and applied learning centers with activities delivered through classes in nutrition, exercise, reflexology, smoking cessation and other health dialogues, seminars, support groups, auxiliary activities, creative arts, intergenerational programs and peer leader training. All services focus on wellness, health promotion and disease prevention.

Health care services are provided to help seniors in the community maintain their independence and avoid premature institutionalization. This is achieved through the study, prevention, screening, evaluation and treatment of people with illnesses, injuries or disabilities.
