Healthy Aging Month in September

St. Paul, Minn. (8/28/2024)—

The population of older adults in the U.S. is steadily increasing,
and people are living longer than ever before. September is Healthy Aging Month, a time to
celebrate the positive aspects of aging and explore ways to enhance the wellbeing of older
individuals. Healthy aging encompasses maintaining and improving physical, mental, spiritual,
financial and social health.
The University of Minnesota Extension Department of Family, Health and Wellbeing invites
anyone who is aging and those who support older adults to visit z.umn.edu/HealthyAgingMonth
to access resources and register for free webinars covering topics such as:
• Health care directives
• Transferring non-titled property
• Preventing financial exploitation
• Medicine cabinet safety
• Scams targeted at older adults
Our minds and bodies undergo countless changes as we age, but embracing a healthy lifestyle
can help us navigate through these transformations with grace and vigor.
