The Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention is delighted to co-sponsor with Interior Health to bring the Annual Okanagan Embrace Aging month in March each year.
Embrace Aging is a month long series of events to celebrate and raise awareness about positive aging in the Okanagan valley. The sessions are for everyone – young and old alike, and focus on a variety of topics related to healthy aging and ways to enhance quality of life among seniors.
