A message from hamv
Dear Healthy Agers,
I'm happy to report that the Aging Summit held on November 14th was well attended with 184 registrants. The day was filled with information exchange, feedback, participants raising their concerns, sharing a fabulous lunch and birthday cake and listening to an engaging session by Nancy Aronie, a panel discussion with community leaders, entertainment by the Ukeladies, and a sobering look at the next 10 years by Adam Turner and myself.
You can find the "The Next 10 Years" presentation deck here.
This month is a time of celebration and thankfulness here at Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard as we reflect on the past and look forward to what needs to be done in the next ten years. I’m thankful for the continuing support of our community and the opportunity to be part of Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard. I’ll be thinking of all that we have done together – and what still remains to be done - throughout this month and especially when I count my blessings on Thanksgiving Day.
​
Best,
Cindy

The HAMV Home Safety Modification Program is still going strong! Our 2020 survey let us know that Older Adults on island want to age in place. We are working hard to help you meet that goal. If you want a consultation for involvement in the Home Safety Modification Program, call your local COA.
