"Self-Care is defined as what individuals can do to treat minor illnesses and injuries at home," said Greg Chadwick, AFMC's Health and Wellness coordinator. "Examples include deciding whether an illness or injury needs immediate medical attention, using proper procedures to keep from spreading a cold and taking care of your health now to help avoid chronic disease later in life."

However, as individuals age the probability of them becoming disabled increases. Unfortunately, this has not eliminated the amount of unfair treatment or inappropriate behaviors displayed towards this group.
