There’s still time to register for the 2024 National Healthy Aging Symposium: Innovation Across the Age-Friendly Ecosystem! The free, half-day event will be held this Thursday, September 26 starting at 1:00 PM ET.

We’re less than one month away from the 2024 National Healthy Aging Symposium hosted by ODPHP and Trust for America’s Health. During this free, half-day event on September 26, attendees will hear from policymakers, researchers, and professionals from across sectors about successful innovations that improve older adult health and well-being in communities around the country. The full agenda is now available.

This guest post is part of Healthy People in Action, a blog series highlighting how key partners use the Healthy People framework in their work, form cross-sector collaborations, and address social determinants of health to help achieve health equity. In this post, the author discusses volunteering as a means to improve social connection for older adults and the resulting positive health outcomes for both those being served and the volunteer.
