To help older adults learn about healthy aging, Project H.E.A.L. hosts talks every two weeks with our community partners.
Nursing, medical, and occupational therapy students from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University will visit older adult centers in person to help with discussions.
You can go in person to one of the participating older adult centers or join via Zoom (see links above).
