Community Education
Health education programs, health promotion resources, caregiver education and so much more.
As a part of our mission to keep older adults healthy and independent, Independence at Home (IAH) offers a wide range of community education programs and activities to older adults and their caregivers. These programs are specifically designed to provide the tools to encourage healthy aging and healthy lifestyles. Through lectures, workshops, health promotion resources, evidence based programming and more, we connect directly with community members to promote health awareness and helpful resources – all at no cost! We invite you to explore our various events.
“Community education presentations are a great opportunity for seniors to be less isolated and at the same time, learn about conditions or changes they are going through. Not all organizations care about people, but IAH really cares.”
