An event titled "Move More, Age Healthily" was organized by the Department of Public Health Nursing on the occasion of October 1 International Day of Older Persons and October 3-4 World Walking Day. Within this scope, fourth-year nursing students visited the Melikşah Retirees Club on October 1, 2026. During the visit, blood pressure measurements were performed for 34 older adults, contributing to raising awareness regarding their health status. Following the health assessments, the students and older individuals engaged in a walk together. Held in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere, the event aimed to strengthen intergenerational communication and encourage older adults to engage in physical activity. At the conclusion of the event, the older individuals expressed their satisfaction with the visit and the time spent with the students, conveying their gratitude. The event served as a meaningful gathering in terms of promoting healthy aging and reinforcing community-based nursing practices.
