The Aging Collective’s mission is to create awareness concerning our aging population. One of the ways we will be accomplishing this in 2019 is through a monthly post entitled, “Let me Tell You a Story.” The content will be based on actual events and empirical data. All we ask is for you to think about the messaging and, if so inspired respond, and become an advocate for the aging cohort. Just remember. Everyone is aging, even you!
