A group of health profession students and faculty members from a US university have spent part of an afternoon at Cronulla learning about strength, balance and mobility programs designed to help older people live active, independent lives.

The contingent from Towson University visited Thrive by Pathways, which is co-located with the 69-bed residential aged care facility Pathways Cronulla Pines.

Thrive physiotherapist Irene Leithhead said the students are learning how health interventions are delivered in different countries and meeting various health professionals, which will help as they consider career pathways.

Towson University graduate program director, nursing, Associate Professor Briana Snyder, said, during their time in Sydney, the group stayed in Chinatown.
