Are You a Family Caregiver? New 'Meet & Move' Group Forming

El Camino Hospital and the Palo Alto Medical Foundation have come together to create Meet & Move a “walk and talk” program designed specifically for adult caregivers in Mountain View, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and surrounding communities.

The idea is to give you an opportunity to enjoy a little downtime, improve your fitness level, and create opportunities to connect with others who understand your situation.

Walking is just one free, easy way to get some exercise and understanding, but we hope that over time, Meet & Move participants will come together to enjoy physical and social activities or to engage in other healthy hobbies.

• Join for free and schedule walks at your convenience
• Meet walking buddies who can relate to the challenges and rewards of caregiving
• Set realistic fitness goals and monitor your progress
• Improve your health and wellness, increase your energy and feel better physically and emotionally
• Receive a free FitBit to help you track your progress
• Attend monthly speakers series to help support you on your path

Meet & Move is FREE and open to adults who provide some level of caregiving to a relative or friend, have access to the internet and currently live in Mountain View, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and surrounding communities.

To learn more and sign-up, please attend an upcoming orientation on Thursday February 19 in Los Altos and February 25th in Sunnyvale. Enrollment is limited so reserve your space early!

If you have questions, please call 650-934-3556
