West Virginia State University's Geri Olympics program is getting some international attention. Ted Muilenburg and Bill Woodrum have been invited to take part in the World Congress on Active Aging.
Muilenburg started Geri Olympics 25 years ago as a way to promote wellness, active living and quality of life for nursing home residents. They compete in sports and work as a team. So far, Geri Olympics has served about 3,500 nursing home residents.
More than 40 nursing care facilities, assisted living centers and skilled nursing care units in rural hospitals have sponsored teams, according to a news release from WVSU. "Geri Olympics has been an amazing event that has been planned by West Virginia State University students, faculty, health care professionals, community volunteers from more 20 agencies, as well as the nursing home residents," said Muilenburg in a news release.
The Glasgow conference is not the first time Geri Olympics has gone international. WVSU signed a memorandum of understanding with Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2004.
Geri Olympics competitions are held locally each spring at the South Charleston Recreation Center. Traveling teams from as far as Morgantown and Lewisburg compete in this geriatric fitness program.
