Western Lisbon- Oeiras
2012 → 2014

The Mobility Academy proposes to the primary health entity a new model to encourage the practice of physical exercise, as a way to promote the autonomy, participation and quality of life of the elderly. Aimed at a population over 65 years old and or with functional disability, selected and referred by their respective family, doctor, the Academy makes way to other activities, providing health gains, namely in the context of obesity and cardiac rehabilitation. The MOBILITY ACADEMY presents a biopsychosocial approach, based on a paradigm shift towards a new concept of Health Center.
The first Mobility Academy in the Health Center in Oeiras is part of a pilot project of the West Lisbon and Oeiras ACES, as part of a strategy to be implemented nationwide.
