As we move into the afternoon of the 2024 Healthy Seniors Pilot Project Symposium, we began by hearing about the tremendous success of the Healthy Seniors Pilot Program (HSPP) and the impact it has had over the years in supporting seniors' well-being. This afternoon’s concurrent sessions cover six critical areas of senior health: 🔹 Optimizing Medication Care & Safety 🔹 Physical Activity 🔹 Intergenerational Engagement 🔹 Therapy & Rehabilitation 🔹 Access to Care & Services 🔹 Community & Social Health, moderated by our own Jenna Roddick - Director of Operations at AGE-WELL National Innovation Hub APPTA. We look forward to an afternoon filled with knowledge sharing, collaboration and strategies to continue making a difference for our aging population. #HSPP2024 #HSPPSymposium

Had an inspiring morning at the Healthy Seniors Pilot Project Symposium in Fredericton, NB, exploring key issues in healthy aging. Dr. Pam Jarrett, NB Geriatrician, provided valuable insights into Healthy Aging in New Brunswick. We also heard from David Black, Wendy Rogers, and Michelle Lafrance in a powerful panel discussion on The Experience of Aging in NB, sharing personal perspectives on the realities of aging in our province. The symposium featured three concurrent sessions on crucial topics, including Aging in First Nations/Indigenous Communities, Palliative & Long-Term Care, and Technology and Aging. These sessions sparked important discussions about improving senior care and supporting aging populations in New Brunswick. We at AGE-WELL National Innovation Hub APPTA are grateful to be part of such an impactful event, and looking forward to continuing the conversation on healthy aging. #HealthyAging #HSPP
