DID YOU KNOW…. In our region (Eagle, Summit, and Pitkin Counties), the population of adults aged 60+ is predicted to quadruple by 2035?
In recognition of and preparation for this age wave, Eagle County Public Health & Environment formed the Aging Well Initiative. The Initiative brings our community together around the goal of enabling Eagle County older adults to independently age in place with the highest quality of life. An essential component of this is social and community engagement, where older adults can enjoy and benefit from an array of educational, cultural, and social opportunities that consider their unique needs and interests. Serving older adults can require additional considerations — the Initiative created two handy infographics on accessibility and marketing considerations to help your organization better serve our growing older adult population. Join us in being prepared and proactive by sharing these “tips and tricks,” and striving to help Eagle County’s aging population thrive.
