The public health policy of the city of Nice is based on four major missions: quality of life, prevention, healthy aging, and innovation. Thus, to inform the inhabitants of Nice about their health and offer them ways to maintain it, Professor Olivier Guérin, Deputy Mayor of Nice in charge of Health, is launching the first edition of the Nice Health Forum this Friday.*
The goal is to highlight, each year, one of the major health challenges in our society.
For this first edition, healthy aging will be addressed with an eclectic program: conferences led by health professionals, information stands, prevention, screening, and vaccination opportunities, as well as possibilities to register for the city of Nice’s health workshops, etc.
A health passport will be distributed free of charge to all participants, allowing them to record personalized results and recommendations obtained from professionals during this forum.
The stand of the Directorate of Health and Autonomy of the City of Nice will provide information related to the 2016 programming of free health prevention workshops for Nice retirees and registration modalities.
