Healthy Aging Initatives Throughout the State

Healthy Aging Initatives Throughout the State

By |

WalkBoston has Heathy Aging initiatives underway in Brookline, Fall River, Gloucester and Weymouth, training seniors in these communities to conduct audits of various walking routes. The groups are shown how to make constructive recommendations to the city about needed improvements around senior centers, schools, and near transit stops in order to improve accessibility for all residents. Thank you to Healthy City Fall River for the great pictures from last week’s training!
