HEALTH
WATCH PROGRAM: Cuyahoga Heights sponsors a Health Watch Program through
the Fire Department for Seniors 60 years or older. The
program co-pays for an alarm that is worn around the neck
of the resident to activate in case of an emergency. Contact
the Fire Department for more information.
CLINIC: The Village operates a well visit clinic with a registered
nurse. Residents 60 years and older are eligible for
certain blood work and an EKG at no charge once a year.
The Clinic is located in the Village Hall and is open
by appointment only from March through October. Please
call JoAnn Socausky, R.N. at 216-520-0927.
FLU
SHOTS: Flu shots for seniors over 60 years and those medically
in need are paid for by the Village and provided once a
year by the Cuyahoga County Board of Health.
The Cuyahoga Heights Senior Citizens organization held a surprise farewell party at the Village Hall on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 6 for long-time Village resident, Mrs. Irene Masek. Mrs. Masek was overwhelmed by the party and glad to see so many of her friends attending the event.
Mayor Bacci also was on hand and presented her with a Proclamation on behalf of the elected officials and residents of the community.
Mrs. Masek was born in 1921. She moved with her family to the Village of Cuyahoga Heights while in her teens, and has resided here ever since. She has three children, and was married to the late James Masek, who at one time was a councilman for the Village, in addition to working at the Neighborhood News for many years.
Mrs. Masek was very active with the Cuyahoga Heights Senior Citizens Club and is known as being one of the best bakers in our community. Not only did Irene provide the most scrumptious bakery and candy for the senior citizen’s annual Valentine’s Day parties, but also for neighbors and friends alike. She truly was a very kind, warm and positive woman who truly will be missed. On behalf of the community we wish her health and happiness as she begins the next chapter of her life in South Carolina.
The Senior Citizens meet the second and fourth Tuesday of
each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Hall Auditorium. The
second Tuesday of the month is their regular business meeting
and the fourth Tuesday of the month is their social night.

The Senior Citizens club went on a road trip to Branson, Missouri. They departed Cuyahoga Heights very early in the morning of Saturday, November 8th and returned back home late Thursday evening, November 13th. Everyone had a great time! The group saw Andy Williams perform and sing; enjoyed a lot of good food and sightseeing, as
well as plenty of shopping.
