Greetings
Welcome to the August newsletter from Willow Grove Physical Therapy.
Congrats to Mildred Chesney on turning 100!
"I was born on December 28, 1915 in Bay Shore Long Island. I have been exercising for the past 35 years and feel that exercise has kept me fit and in good health." Mildred takes the Willow Grove Senior Fitness class 2 times per week in addition to another class. She also takes the water aerobics class provided by Willow Grove PT. "For mental stimulus I do cryptograms, crossword puzzles and play scrabble. I also spend part of my day playing bridge, canasta, hand & foot mah jong, and dominoes. Also, a great deal of reading. My volunteer work is "cook for a friend" once a month and right now I am teaching a group of ladies how to play canasta."
