Tamera Kiger has been named as the
new executive director of The Senior
Alliance. Kiger assumed responsibilities
of the agency, which serves more than
190,000 older adults and their care-
givers, on Jan. 30.
Kiger brings more than 25 years of
experience and leadership working to
improve the health care delivery sys-
tems for individuals with needs. As a
pioneer in the 1980s for Community-
based living facilities in Michigan, she
was on the forefront of developing solu-
tions at a time when the closure of state
hospitals and institutions risked displac-
ing at-risk populations, according to a
prepared statement from the agency.
Recently, she led the implementation of
an integrated care delivery model for
dually eligible individuals with
Medicare andMedicaid.
“Changes in howwe age, enjoy retire-
ment and access health care are leading
to unique opportunities for innovation. I
am excited to be a part of the team at
The Senior Alliance and look forward to
working to improving the lives of older
adults and those living with a disability
in westernWayne County and the down-
river area,” saidKiger.
The Senior Alliance, AAA1-C is a pri-
vate non-profit agency that was estab-
lished in 1980, and designated by the
Michigan Commission on Services to
the Aging to operate as the Area Agency
onAging (AAA) for the 34 suburban com-
munities of Southern and Western
Wayne County. The agency offers pro-
grams such as Meals on Wheels, the
Nursing Facility Transition Program,
the MI-Choice Medicaid Waiver

statement continued.

Westland wants to help area residents 'buddy up' to
better healthand fitness.
The city will begin the fifth year of the 8-week “Buddy
Up” program at 7 p.m. March 3 in the banquet room at
city hall where Buddy Shuh, a former contestant on
NBC's TheBiggest Loser, will speak about the program.
“The heart and soul of the program is Buddy Shuh,”
noted Westland Mayor William Wild. “Westland is very
fortunate to benefit from his experience and knowledge
on this very important subject.”
That subject is obesity, according to a prepared state-
ment fromWild's office, which notes that 35 percent or 78
million Americans are considered obese. Research has
shown that “buddying up” can be the difference between
failure and success with any weight loss plan, the state-
ment continued.
Shuh, a Wayne resident, was a contestant on the
nationally-televised show. He left the popular program
two weeks before the finale, but he said the lessons he
learned there have stayedwith him. It is those lessons, he
said, that he hopes to share with the Buddy Up program
which he launched inWestland in 2013. He estimates that
more than 800 people have started the programsince that
time.
The Buddy Up program has been the cornerstone of
Wild's Healthy Passport program in the city. In announc-
ing the program, which he called “wildly popular,” the
mayor said, “Not only does it provide a fun way to main-
tain an active lifestyle throughout the winter, but it does
so through an individual who truly knows first-hand how
living ahealthy lifestyle can change one's life.”
Shuh stressed that the programdoesn't require partici-
pants to exercise six hours a day and lose 2 pounds every
24 hours like theTV showdid.
“A more reasonable weight loss is 2 pounds a week,”
he said.
Following the March 3 meeting, participants will meet
at 9 a.m. every Saturday for eight weeks and will receive
guidance and encouragement by their teamcaptains. The
meetings will include 30 minutes of exercise and 30 min-
utes of nutritional education including ways to make sim-
ple yet meaningful choices for a sustainable, healthier
lifestyle. Various types of
exercises, from Zumba to
Yoga, will be introduced to
participants by trained fit-
ness professionals.
The program will
include the six-week
triathlonwhere participants
bike, run and swim. This
year, participants will be
offered an optional weight
loss challenge with prizes
for the three individuals
who lose themost weight.
Registration is limited to
the first 250 paid registrants
and is available at
. The fee is
$30 which includes a tee shirt and an informational
binder. This year, participants can compete for the top
weight loss prize for an extra $10. Doors will open at city
hall at 6 p.m. March 3 and the programwill begin at 7 p.m.
