Healthy Aging

For millions across the country, safe and reliable transportation to healthcare is critical, especially for people with disabilities. Without reliable transportation, older adults regularly miss critical medical appointments. Without a ride to the pharmacy, Americans without cars forgo taking essential medications. To take on these challenges, the federal government has invested in providing transportation and mobility options for older adults facing challenges and is working to synchronize how federal programs can better meet their needs.

A few weeks ago, the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) and Trust for America’s Health (TFAH) co-hosted the National Healthy Aging Symposium: Innovation Across the Age-Friendly Ecosystem. Recordings from the event are now available.

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.
