Hosted by the UofL Trager Institute/Optimal Aging Clinic, this city-wide awareness month seeks to inspire and encourage people to learn about optimal aging. During this month, we invite you to join us in redefining aging for ourselves and our community. Optimal Aging Month is part of a national observation of Healthy Aging Month.
As You Age, What Do You #DareToDo?
Optimal aging is a new understanding of the aging that allows people to flourish physically, socially, and emotionally from birth to death in compassionate intergenerational communities. This view of aging transforms the way we understand and approach the aging process—from one of fragmentation and unnecessary suffering to one of interconnectedness, access to information, and resources.
