Signature Programs
Positive Aging Lifestyles (PALS)
“Defining who you are and your path for the future through understanding and living the difference between aging and being ageless.” PALS consists of three modules: Ageless Mind, Ageless Body, and Ageless Spirit. Used together or separately, PALS is an interactive educational program designed to reclaim our senior population as leaders in the community. Training for Facilitators of PALS will be held throughout the year. Please refer to our calendar of events for the next session.
Profiles
of Positive Aging
To be remembered is to have true longevity. By recognizing someone with a Profile of Positive Aging you can honor those who are standing on the shoulders of years of wisdom and positive aging experiences, who have lived life to the fullest and inspire us by example.
A Profile of Positive Aging honors someone who has made a difference to our society, their community or in your life. It is the gift of legacy. Your contribution not only supports the Center for Positive Aging but allows others to share the influence of these unique individuals. The profiles will be featured on our website as a living tribute and a copy suitable for framing can be sent to the honoree or contributor.
A Profile of Positive Aging award can be given as:A retirement gift
A birthday present
An anniversary gift or remembrance
A memorial tribute
Or simply to show someone your gratitude and how much you care
