Senior Citizens Activities Network is a non-profit organization and has been Keeping Seniors Active, Healthy, and Connected Since 1988. SCAN is located in the eastern portion of Monmouth County, NJ. Ocean and Monmouth Counties are home to the second largest number of senior citizens in the USA -- second only to Florida. Our membership reflects the active lifestyle, vibrancy, and social networking strength of our organization. We know that education, community resources, and technology can be effectively combined to create an enriched, engaging social environment where older adults will continue to grow intellectually as well as physically and emotionally. Our programs create the opportunity for adults aged 55+ to thrive and help them sustain their independence, health, and happiness. At our Monmouth Mall Hub, SCAN offers three 13-week semesters of educational and inspiring classes that include art, literature, technology, yoga, tai chi, music, TV production, and much more. The Mall location also features special events and workshops, as well as a SHIP counselor who provides Medicare consultations. SCAN in the Community

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. We had the good fortune to chat with Dr. Mitchell Weiss, a radiation oncologist from Monmouth Medical Center . He described the latest advances in prostate cancer treatments. Of course, the best advice from Dr. Weiss is to get your annual screening which is a blood test. Early detection of all types of cancer creates the most successful outcome. The Leon Hess Cancer Center at Monmouth Medical Center continues to break barriers in cancer care through its state-of-the-art Institute for Advanced Radiation Oncology.
