Promoting Active and Health Aging
“Ano Ang Tungkulin Natin?”
In an era where the global population is rapidly aging, there is an urgent need to prioritize research on healthy aging to ensure the well-being of our older citizens. In our upcoming webinar, we will aim to shed light on the crucial role of programs that foster a healthier and more active aging process. We will delve into the importance of community health workers and volunteers as key players in promoting and sustaining healthy aging initiatives. We will explore their roles in disseminating information, providing support, and creating environments that foster physical, mental, and social well-being for the elderly.
Our main presenter is Dr. Shelley Ann F. Dela Vega, who serves as Director of the Institute on Aging of the UP Manila – National Institutes of Health as well as Professor and Attending Consultant on geriatric medicine from the Department of Medicine of the UP-Philippine General Hospital. Our reactor is Dr. Marc Evans M. Abat, who is a practicing geriatric medicine specialist, also from the Department of Medicine of the UP-Philippine General Hospital.
Join us as we bring together experts, researchers, and advocates to discuss innovative strategies, share best practices, and emphasize the indispensable role of collaborative efforts in advancing healthy aging research. Together, we can create a blueprint for a future where aging is not just an inevitable process but an opportunity for individuals and communities to thrive. And together, we can stop preventable deaths!
