At Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard, we believe everyone deserves to age with dignity, safety, and purpose. As our Island’s older adult population continues to grow, so does the need for thoughtful leadership, strong community partnerships, and innovative solutions.
We are seeking passionate, community-minded individuals to join our Board of Directors and help guide our work toward a more age-friendly Martha’s Vineyard.
