September is Healthy Aging Month
Healthy Aging Never Gets Old!
Aging is as much a part of human life stages as infancy, childhood, and adolescence. But prevailing negative assumptions about aging portray this stage as a time of professional, physical, and cognitive decline that are not accurate! Visit the September Newsletter to read about these public Ageless Wonders and get inspired:
Sir David Attenborogh is 97 years old and is still committed to saving our planet and all that lives and thrives here...
Morgan Freeman at 86 years old is still at it...
Betty White epitomized an ageless wonder...
