View new services and sample new products.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists will be available for addressing nutrition related health concerns and sharing information about the Senior Nutrition Congregate Dining and Home Delivered Meals programs in Westchester.

  • Telehealth Intervention Programs for Seniors (TIPS) will once again be featured at Salute to Seniors. TIPS is the high-tech meets high touch approach to remote patient monitoring. Have your vitals taken; get your TIPS sheet and receive a gift.
