Promoting Literacy for Better Health Outcomes: Effective Foot Care for Seniors

Genesee County Literacy Coalition (GCLC) invites the community to attend Session VIII of our Health Literacy Workshop series: Effective Foot Care for Seniors. This free Lunch and Learn event will take place on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Gloria Coles Flint Public Library (Flint Central Room B).

This informative session will focus on the importance of proper foot care and how healthy feet contribute to overall health and independence as we age. Participants will learn about common foot conditions affecting seniors, including overgrown toenails, calluses, bunions, and other issues that can impact mobility, comfort, and quality of life.

Special attention will be given to the connection between foot health and chronic conditions such as diabetes, highlighting how proper foot care can help prevent complications and support healthier outcomes. Participants will also learn practical tips for nail care, skin care, selecting appropriate footwear, and recognizing when professional medical care may be needed.

As part of GCLC's Promoting Literacy for Better Health Outcomes community series, this workshop empowers individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to make informed health decisions and maintain their independence.
