[Macau – September 21, 2015]  MGM China remains a consistent supporter of community initiatives and engages in a host of charity work and events as a way to give back to the society. For the sixth consecutive year, MGM teams up with the Macau Chinese Medicine Association and rolls out the “Health Day for the Elderly” activity. Over 200 elderlies from four charity associations under Caritas Macau, Centro de Convívio “Kei Hong Lok Yuen” do Centro Pastoral da Areia Preta, Centro de Dia da Ilha Verde, Centro para Idosos da Casa Ricci and Centro de Dia “Brilho da Vida”, were invited to join this thoughtful and caring annual health day on September 21 at MGM MACAU’s Grand Ballroom.

During the activity, the elderlies were provided one-on-one medical consultations by 23 practitioners from the Macau Chinese Medicine Association, with the assistance of 60 MGM volunteer team members. Healthy herbal soups were prescribed for them after the medical consultations, which are beneficial to lungs and digestive system. In addition, the practitioners demonstrated an acupuncture-point massage therapy to the elderlies for them to practice this simple health exercise on a daily basis.

Ms. Wendy Yu, Senior Vice President of Human Resources of MGM MACAU, said, “With six successful years of providing the ‘Health Day for the Elderly’, we would like to sincerely thank all the charity associations involved and the Macau Chinese Medicine Association for their support. We always strive to give back to the community in various ways, which includes taking care of the elderlies in our society. With the health tips we’ve provided them today, we hope that even more will benefit as they share with their family and friends.”

Mr. Paulo Do Lago Com Andante, Chairman of Macau Chinese Medicine Association, said, “This sustainable elderly activity brings a positive impact to people as a way to give back to the society. It is also beneficial to promote Chinese medicine to the elderlies as a supplementary way to enhance their well-being. In addition, the activity gives elderlies an opportunity to be out and meet new people, which also helps to maintain a healthy mind and body as a whole.”

The “Health Day for the Elderly” was first held in 2010, and has since helped more than 1,000 elderlies in Macau. In addition to on-site Chinese medical consultations, there were also live entertainment, games and refreshments offered. The MGM Volunteer Team has been committed to serving the community since its establishment in 2010, and regularly partners with external organizations to support the underprivileged and elderly groups, in addition to guiding the youths through a wide array of volunteer activities, aimed to create a better Macau.
