HealthCare Partners Supports AARP's 'Life@50+' Event as Silver Sponsor

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthCare Partners Medical Group joins in supporting the AARP's signature national event "Life@50+" as a Silver Sponsor. The event, targeted to Southern California seniors and their families, and AARP members and their guests, will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center on October 26, 27, 28, 2006. The event will focus on interest areas such as health and travel, and will feature celebrity speakers including Maya Angelou, Terry Bradshaw, Connie Chung, Ruby Dee, Queen Latifah, Raquel Welch, and Dan Rather.

As a Silver Sponsor, HealthCare Partners Medical Group will spread the word on how seniors and their families can get the best care possible to live full, healthy lives. The medical group invites the public to its "Oasis of Health" (booth 2100), to rest, revitalize and learn about optimum aging. The booth, designed to be experiential and interactive, will feature free health screenings, including pulse oximeter, skin testing, cholesterol, pre-diabetes, and blood pressure. Throughout the expo, HealthCare Partners will provide health programs, including "Ask the Doctor" and presentations on various health topics. In chair massages will also be offered to help attendees relax.

HealthCare Partners doctors will also teach a special educational session about how to prevent stroke, heart failure, and osteoporosis, and how to fall-proof your home.

Robert J. Margolis, CEO, notes, "HealthCare Partners welcomes this opportunity to support AARP and its programs. Our medical group is committed to helping seniors live longer, fuller. Although many seniors today remain active throughout their lives, older adults with chronic conditions often require special care. Our medical group has geriatricians who devote their practices to treating aging patients. They'll welcome discussion at HealthCare Partners' Oasis of Health about seniors and opportunities for optimizing health."

"Life@50+" features a broad spectrum of entertainment, educators and speakers, in addition to information booths. More information about AARP and its programs can be found at www.aarp.org.

HealthCare Partners, a respected, multi-specialty medical group, provides senior patients with coordinated total care through 39 conveniently located community offices and five urgent care centers. Some 375 physicians in geriatrics, internal medicine, family practice and other specialty fields work closely together to coordinate high-quality patient care -- rated in the top 10% of medical groups in California.
