New research from CenterWell® shows that measuring fulfillment as part of an integrated health program can be an important indicator of whole-person health. The study, which sought to better understand how fulfillment can impact seniors’ health and well-being, found that a sense of wholeness and self-value can have a direct impact on seniors’ overall happiness and health.
Considering fulfillment as part of a holistic healthcare plan can make a difference in the lives of older adults. For example, when there is an emphasis on preventive care, this can help retirees stay healthy and maintain their independence. Similarly, senior-focused programming, such as Silver Sneakers® fitness classes and events hosted at CenterWell® Senior Primary Care centers, can help foster social and emotional connections in a population that often reports feeling isolated or lonely.
Aging isn’t always easy. But with senior-centered offerings and an emphasis on whole-person health, Humana members can find a sense of fulfillment at every step of their wellness journey.
