In collaboration with public and private health and social service partners and community volunteers, the Aging & Disability Resource Center (ADRC) promotes effective prevention efforts to keep people healthy and independent.  Evidence-based workshops teach new skills and activities that encourage individuals to develop a healthy lifestyle and reduce their risk in the community.  Workshops are held in different locations at various dates and times throughout the year.  For more information on workshops scheduled at this time, contact the ADRC to register or get on a waitlist so you can be the first to know when something is available.
