Senior Education


Proctor Hospital

Every patient at Proctor Hospital is special. From newborn babies and young adults to seniors, everyone is treated with the same respect, dignity and personal care.

But the fact is, seniors have health-related concerns that often require more and different health care services. At Proctor, we’re focusing resources on this area of community need.

The spectrum of senior services begins with health screenings, education programs and other activities designed to maintain healthy habits and lifestyles. It then carries into most other areas of the hospital, including cardiac care, radiology, inpatient and outpatient surgery and a wound care clinic.

Forward 55, a special program open to anyone over 55, provides discounts on a variety of health care products and services. And there are no membership or registration fees.
