White Crane's overall objective is to provide a comprehensive, holistic, community-based approach to chronic disease prevention (focusing on the whole body and mind), and to make health services more accessible to at-risk elderly. With this in mind, White Crane has developed a new model of health outreach that brings culturally and linguistically appropriate health and wellness services directly to at-risk, low-income, minority, immigrant, and refugee elderly.

White Crane's collaborative team of medical professionals and collaborating partners offers a comprehensive array of services:

  • Health Education Classes
  • Screenings (Cholesterol, Blood Pressure, Mammography, vision, Nutrition, and more)
  • Mental Health Education Classes and Screenings (Depression and Cognition)
  • Health and Fitness Classes (Tai Chi, Yoga, Aerobics, and weights)
  • Assessments and Referrals

White Crane's Outreach Program strives to reduce the incidence of risk factors for preventable disease (stroke, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, pneumonia, flu, osteoporosis, mental illness, etc.); to motivate and educate seniors to take control of their health; and to make health care services accessible to low-income, disadvantaged, immigrant, refugee, and minority at risk elderly.
