Healthy Aging Martha's Vineyard
Making Martha's Vineyard an Aging-Friendly Island
help us celebrate our
10 year anniversary
Did you know?
-
1 in 3 Islanders is over 60 today.
-
By 2025, we anticipate up to 25% will be 85+ yrs.
-
It’s time to celebrate HAMV, to reflect on our accomplishments and plan for the
next 10 years.
​
HAMV is a planning, advocacy, and community building entity whose mission is to ensure we have the infrastructure and services in place to serve our rapidly-growing older adult population.
​
Please take a moment to look at our accomplishments and vital programs and consider making a donation. Your generosity allows HAMV to continue to offer popular programs including GoGoGrandparent, Home Safety Modification and Matter of Balance.
