Poster session at the 2012 Healthy Aging Forum |
We will also showcase a new website for the Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative designed to connect professionals, advocates, senior activists, and communities in the field of healthy aging.
The forum will feature keynote speaker Joseph Coughlin, Ph.D., director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab. The Rev. Liz Walker of Roxbury Presbyterian Church will lead a discussion with Massachusetts Public Health Commissioner Cheryl Bartlett and Massachusetts Elder Affairs Secretary Ann Hartstein on healthy aging indicators in the state. And, due to popular demand, the poster session will return this year to highlight a number of healthy aging activities in Massachusetts.
