Discussion Group Findings Coming Soon
We are grateful to the nearly 50 people who participated in discussion groups about advancing research on healthy aging with Villages. These five groups were held in the fall of 2023. Participants spanned Village members, paid professionals and officers, and regional Village leadership. We look forward to sharing findings in the spring and summer of 2024.
