• Tai Chi for Balance

    Tai Chi is a slow, gentle, non-strenuous exercise routine that has been proven to improve balance and decrease the risk of falls. Tai Chi is also associated with other health benefits including reducing blood pressure, improving sleep and decreasing stress. 


    Our instructor, Paula Allen, is a certified tai chi instructor who has taught tai chi in a wide variety of settings in the Omaha area for more than 4 years. Paula holds a BA in Occupational Therapy and a Master’s degree in Public Administration.


    Tai Chi for Balance meets Mondays and Thursdays from 11:15 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Enter through the west entrance. 


    SCHEDULING NOTE:

    Tai Chi will not be held on May 29, June 1, June 12, June 15, July 3, July 6, and July 10.

  • Blood Pressure Screens

    On the first Sunday of the month, nurses with the Health & Wellness Ministry host blood pressure screens before and between worship services. This year, the screenings are performed by students in the Papillion La Vista Health Systems Academy who are completing their training requirements to become licensed certified nursing assistants, or CNAs.


    Stay tuned to the Happenings page or the weekly FaithConnect newsletter for upcoming dates.


    If you are a licensed health care professional (MD, RN, LPN, CNA, EMT, paramedic, etc.) or a retired health care professional, we would love to discuss volunteer opportunities which may be available for you in our Health & Wellness Ministry.
