Greetings,

​

We've gotten a great start to 2024 with much happening at HAMV. Let me first say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who supported HAMV in our fundraising efforts last fall. Your financial support is so important to helping us achieve our mission of ensuring that we have the services and infrastructure in place so that Older Adults can successfully age on Martha's Vineyard. Your donations help support our organization in overseeing island-wide coalitions to address challenges collaboratively, introducing and funding new pilot programs to address service gaps, advocating to ensure that Older Adults' perspectives are included in community decision making and educating our community on the contributions that Older Adults make.

​

I'm delighted to share with you that we have two new Healthy Aging Martha's Vineyard colleagues; Lisa Stewart, Mobility Manager, and Jamie Loschen, Associate Director. They are already digging in, bringing their expertise, energy and passion to move us forward. Read more about them here - and most likely you will have the opportunity to meet them as they are out and about in our community.  

​

We launched a new pilot program on January 2 in conjunction with our 4 Councils on Aging - CALL THE TECH PRO - with a huge positive response. In the first 3 weeks of the program, we have had over 75 Older Adults register to have a TECH PRO come to their home at no cost. Learn more about this program.

​

So as 2024 continues to heat up (literally and figuratively) we are enthusiastic about what we can do together.

​

Best,

Cindy
