Recently, the volunteer service team of the rehabilitation hospital affiliated to Xiangnan University came to a nursing home in the city with equipment to carry out the medical volunteer service of "caring for the elderly and caring for health", and gave the elderly a "health gift package".

Blood pressure measurement, blood glucose measurement, massage, moxibustion, acupuncture and moxibustion... The members of the volunteer service team soon entered the working state. For the elderly with chronic diseases, the volunteers repeatedly told the elderly and administrators the health matters and medication methods they should pay attention to, and explained the health knowledge of diet and exercise for them.

At the scene of the activity, the volunteers also taught "love activity" health exercise hand in hand. This health exercise, warmly welcomed by the elderly, has the effect of improving cognitive function, balance ability and delaying Alzheimer's disease. Volunteer Wu Xiaolan said that in order to help the old people learn, they also carefully made teaching videos according to the characteristics of the old people. They are very pleased to see that the old people like them very much.

"I've cured my foot pain better. I'll remember you as my benefactor all my life." Granny Wang, in her 70s, said, holding the volunteer's hand. The warm service of volunteers not only gained the praise of the old people, but also gained their smile. Before leaving, the volunteers did not forget to remind the elderly to continue to maintain their health according to the doctor's advice.

Li Weixin, a volunteer, said that they have always insisted on participating in medical volunteer service, that is, to improve the health awareness of the elderly, to achieve early treatment and prevention of diseases, to carry forward the fine tradition of "respecting, helping and loving the elderly", and to normalize the charity activities, so that the elderly can feel the warmth of the social family and spend a happy old age.
